Creating New Products With New Materials
We are living in one of those periods when chemistry, material science, engineering, and wild dreams are all coming together. Less than 20 years old, the practical manufacture and application of graphene are beginning to emerge. One of the major forces behind this is the CVD growth of graphene, allowing for the creation of larger quantities at more reasonable prices. You can read more about this extraordinary product and the process in this blog. What's Happening? There is a process of manufacturing graphene that deposits a single layer on a substrate from gas molecules in a chamber. This process is called chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Elsewhere on our website, you can find more details. CVD can produce more uniform graphene in larger volumes. It is now the preferred manufacturing process and is still undergoing significant study. Graphene's single layer, two-dimensional structure contributes to it's many unique properties. Graphene is something of the "S...
