Specialists from Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) have proposed a new technology for producing graphene, which is expected to help in the creation of flexible electronics, advanced sensors, etc.
Scientists from the Research School of Chemical and Biomedical Technologies, the Research School of Physics of High-Energy Processes, and the TPU School of Natural Resources Engineering took part in the work. Assistance was provided by researchers from Germany, Holland, France and China.
For the first time, Russian specialists have successfully modified graphene by combining two methods: functionalization with diazonium salts and laser processing. Previously, the combination of these two methods for modifying graphene was not used by anyone.
The resulting material has a number of properties that open up the widest possibilities for its application. In particular, it talks about good conductivity, resistance to degradation and corrosion in water, as well as excellent resistance to bending.
It is assumed that the technique will be in demand in the production of flexible electronic devices of the future and various sensors of the next generation. In addition, the results of the study can help in the creation of qualitatively new materials.
