The challenges in nanotechnology and especially in carbon nanostructures can be considered in two aspects, the preparation/fabrication of the nanostructures and their properties regarding the specific applications. In order to explore and exploit the rich physics/chemistry of the graphene, new methods are required to tailor their properties. This book which is based on a master thesis is a contribution to the both above mentioned aspects through the following goals:
- Exploring a novel route for the synthesis of a stable suspension containing graphene sheets in aqueous solution.
- Characterization of the produced graphene sheets.
- Developing the Graphene/Poly Vinyl Alcohol nanocomposites.
- Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites.
