Laser-Structured Graphene/Reduced Graphene Oxide Films towards Bio-Inspired Superhydrophobic Surfaces

Abstract

Fine-tuning the physical and chemical properties of graphene and its derivatives is crucial for developing novel multi-functional graphene-based devices. Natural bio-surfaces with rich micro-nanostructures are inspirational for such schemes since they possess unique properties such as superhydrophobicity. In order to effectively acquire these bio-functions, graphene-related materials need to be structured into regularly arranged biomimetic structures. Laser-processing techniques, such as two beam laser interference lithography and femtosecond laser direct-writing, are powerful prototype techniques for their outstanding patterning ability. Herein, we briefly reviewed laser-structuring on graphene or graphene oxide to realize highly functional biomimetic surfaces.

Carbon based nanomaterials for tissue engineering of bone: Building new bone on small black scaffolds: A review

“…This interaction can occur by π-π stacking of [29], electrostatic or ionic interactions, and van der Waals forces depending on the exact structure of the functionalized sheets. These various interactions make possible specifically tailored applications of GO-based materials for tissue engineering in different organs, biosensor technology, and medical therapeutics [30], [31]. Different “Gum-metal” titanium-based alloys like Ti(31.7)-Nb(6.21)-Zr(1.4)-Fe(0.16)-O can be admixed with GO-based materials to enhance their mechanical and electrical properties.…”

“…Nanomaterial-based thin films are widely studied in several engineering fields owing to their excellent material properties and diverse potential applications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Several fabrication methods have been used to develop such nanomaterials-based thin films, including solvent casting, painting, spray processing, printing, spin coating, the floating technique, pulsed laser deposition technique, and the layer-by-layer (LbL) method [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Nanoarchitectonics for Hierarchical Fullerene Nanomaterials

“…Accordingly, nanoscale materials sciences have been paid much attention. Nanoscale materials in various dimensions such as quantum dots [ 31 , 32 , 33 ], nanoparticles [ 34 , 35 , 36 ], nanocrystals [ 37 , 38 , 39 ], nanotubes [ 40 , 41 , 42 ], nanorods/nanowires [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ], nanosheets [ 46 , 47 , 48 ], graphene [ 49 , 50 , 51 ], and other two-dimensional materials [ 52 , 53 , 54 ] have been extensively investigated. Similarly, materials with internal nanostructures including mesoporous materials [ 55 , 56 , 57 ], zeolites [ 58 , 59 , 60 ], metal–organic frameworks [ 61 , 62 , 63 ], other coordination polymers [ 64 , 65 , 66 ], and covalent organic frameworks [ 67 , 68 , 69 ] have been actively explored.…”
