The mechanical properties of graphene have been investigated using various experimental, theoretical and computational approaches. By experimental based work, Lee et al. [1] estimated the mechanical properties of graphene such as Young’s modulus of about 1.0  ± 0.1 TPa and fracture strength of 130  ± 10 GPa. Frank et al. [2] estimated Young’s modulus of 0.5 TPa for 2 to 8nm thickness of graphene sheets. Zhang et al. [3] measured Young’s modulus of 0.89 TPa for single layer graphene sheet. Besides experimental work, numerous theoretical and computational studies have been carried out to investigate mechanical properties of graphene. By orthogonal tight-binding method Zhao et al. [4] estimated Young’s modulus of 1.01  ± 0.03 and fracture strength and st rain of 107 GPa and 0.20 in zigzag direction and 90 GPa and 0.13 in armchair direction respectively. By Ab initio calculation Liu et al. [5] estimated young’s modulus of 1.05 TPa and also estimated uniaxial tensile stress of 121Show MoreRelatedTuning Mechanical Properties Of Graphene With Stone Thrower Wales Defects1510 Words   |  7 PagesTuning mechanical properties of graphene with Stone-Thrower-Wales defects - A molecular dynamics study G.

Rajasekaran, Rajesh Kumar and Avinash Parashar Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee - 247667, India ABSTRACT Structural defects are inevitable in graphene due to its production techniques as well as chemical and heat treatment processes. These defects in graphene are introduced either during the production process or deliberately by us to tailor its properties.

DLC is a family of amorphous carbon materials, existing in seven different forms that contain sp2 and sp3 hybridised carbon atoms. Sp2 refers to the graphite bonding structure, whilst sp3 refers to a diamond bonding structure. Graphite and diamond have very similar structures, but the bonding type differentiates them. By altering the ratio of sp2 to sp3 bonding and hydrogen content, different mechanical properties in DLC films are observedRead MoreGraphene : A Sheet Of Carbon1556 Words   |  7 PagesGraphene, a sheet of carbon that is a single atom thick, is the strongest material on earth, silicone- based putty (or silly putty) is the one of the softest, and oddest. When the two got together, electricity happened. Approximately two-and-one-half years ago, researchers in Jonathon Coleman’s lab combined broken sheets of graphene with the toy putty and created G-Putty, a super-sensitive material that detects minuscule changes in pressure to the material. When they placed G-Putty on a lab mate’sRead MoreEffects Of Point And Line Defects On The Properties Of Graphene9719 Words   |  39 PagesEffect of Point and Line Defects on the Properties of Graphene: A Review Rajasekaran G, Prarthana Narayanan and Avinash Parashar* Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee - 247667, India * Corresponding author: E-Mail: drap1fme@iitr.ac.in, Ph: +91-1332-284801 ABSTRACT New materials with distinctive properties are arising and attracting the scientific community at regular intervals.

In 2004, the first transistor made from 2D TMDs (WSe2) was published with a mobility of less than 500cm2v-1s-1 for p-type conductivity which is about half of that of silicon based transistors and it had a low on/off ratio which was due to the fabrication of this device on a bulk material. However, MoS2 is a better option for transistor applications because
