Special Workshop: Graphene/Carbon nanotubes: properties, manufacturing techniques, and applications

Time: October 21, 2013

Venue: Crowne Plaza, San Diego

Workshop leaders:
Prof. Yu Zhu, The University of Akron
Prof. Fengge Gao, Nottingham Trent University

Workshop topics:

• Graphene – the basic building blocks for new carbons
  (The relationship between graphene and other carbon materials and historic evolution of carbon materials)
• Graphene derived micro/nano species suitable for composite application
  (Graphene, graphene oxide, graphite interacted compounds, expanded graphite)
• Graphene synthesis: various graphene synthesis techniques (including CVD, wet-chemistry etc.) will be discussed and reviewed in this section.
• Graphene characterization: an introduction of characterization of graphene and graphene derivatives.
• New properties from graphene.
• A perspective of applications of graphene and its derived species

The workshop is free to all attendees of the conference “Nanomaterials for Industry“
