Mutsuaki Murakami announces the fabrication of high-quality and large area graphite thin films by pyrolysis and graphitization of polyimides
The production of the graphite film less than 10m was difficult due to the delicate nature of the graphite film that caused wrinkles and breakage during the production process.
- The production of the graphite film less than 10m was difficult due to the delicate nature of the graphite film that caused wrinkles and breakage during the production process.
- A new research paper " Fabrication of high-quality and large area graphite thin films by pyrolysis and graphitization of polyimides " (Carbon 145 (2019) 23-30) led by Mutsuaki Murakami through forming a collaboration with Atsushi Tatami (Japan) and Masamitsu Tachibana (Japan) reported on new thin graphite films.
- The new graphite films have large areas with good physical properties that are close to those of natural graphite crystals and can be effectively handled.
- Also, handling of multi-layer graphene is easy compared to single-layer graphene, but its quality is lower compared to single-layer graphene or high-quality graphite film.
