Graphene Technology: From Laboratory to Fabrication

by Soroush Nazarpour (Editor), Stephen R. Waite (Editor)

Filling the gap between publications for industrial developers and academic researchers on graphene synthesis and its applications, this book presents the essential aspects for the successful upscaling of graphene production.
After an introduction to graphene, its synthesis and characterization, the text covers a wide variety of graphene composites and compounds. The larger part of the book discusses various applications where graphene has been successfully integrated into technologies, including uses in the energy sector, oil and gas industry, biomedical areas, sensors and coatings. Finally, the book concludes with a summary and a look at the future of graphene technology, including a market review.
With its focus on applications, this is equally useful for both academic and industrial users.

About the Author
Soroush Nazarpour is president and chief executive officer of NanoXplore Inc., Montreal, Canada. He has obtained his PhD from University of Barcelona, Spain, and spent two years as postdoctoral researcher in the National Institute of Scientific Research in Quebec, Canada. Dr. Nazarpour has extensive experience in advanced carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube and graphene, device physics, materials processing and integration. He has spent several years in development of metal oxide gas sensors and transparent conductive layers for flat panels and touch screens.
His research interests include development of advanced composites materials based on graphene, integration of graphene, fabrication of devices and deposition of nanocomposite coatings on rigid and mechanically flexible substrates for large area electronics, for imaging and display applications and for gas sensors.
He has authored more than sixty articles, four patents, three books and numerous industrial reports.

Stephen R. Waite is co-founder and executive director of the Graphene Stakeholders Association, which is a non-profit organization established in 2013 to promote the responsible development of graphene and graphene-enabled technologies. Furthermore, he is an advisory board member for the NanoBusiness Commercialization Association and Strategic News Service "Future in Review" conference series.
He obtained his BSc degree in economics from Central Michigan University, Michigan, USA, in 1982 and his MSc degree in economics from the Pennsylvania State University, PA, USA, in 1985. He has more than 30 years of experience in entrepreneurial and corporate settings in the field of emerging technologies (nanotechnology, biotechnology and life sciences) as well as entertainment, digital media and information security.
