Graphene-based materials exhibit remarkable electronic, optical, and mechanical
properties, which has resulted in both high scientific interest and huge potential for a variety …

Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) have been intensively studied for nearly 50 years due to
their unique advantages to producing ceramic fibers, coatings, foams, nanocomposites and …

We study the transformation from molecular to crystalline of (non-) graphitic carbons
synthesized from organic precursors by heat-treatment. Easy assessment of structural …

Graphene-based materials (GBMs), with graphene, their most known member, at the head,
constitute a large family of materials which has aroused the interest of scientists working in …

sp 2 hybridized carbons constitute a broad class of solid phases composed primarily of
elemental carbon and can be either synthetic or naturally occurring. Some examples are …

Raman spectroscopy is an integral part of graphene research. It is used to determine the
number and orientation of layers, the quality and types of edge, and the effects of …

Low-weight components of coal macromolecule were subjected to pyrolysis and
condensation when magmatic rock intruded into coal measure, eventually, the residual …

We present a Raman study of Ar+-bombarded graphene samples with increasing ion doses.
This allows us to have a controlled, increasing, amount of defects. We find that the ratio …

Boron carbide is characterized by a unique combination of properties that make it a material
of choice for a wide range of engineering applications. Boron carbide is used in refractory …

We report the exfoliation of graphite in aqueous solutions under high shear rate [∼ 108 s–1]
turbulent flow conditions, with a 100% exfoliation yield. The material is stabilized without …
