  • Publication number: 20180190762
    Abstract: Disclosed is a flexible substrate laminate including a flexible substrate and a base member configured to reduce strain of the flexible substrate on one surface of the flexible substrate. The flexible substrate laminate includes the base member for reducing surface strain to thus decrease the surface shear stress and surface strain thereof, thereby minimizing deterioration in the performance of a device. When the flexible substrate laminate is applied to various electronic devices, the electronic devices can exhibit improved bending resistance while the performance thereof is prevented from decreasing even after bending.

  • Publication number: 20180076404
    Abstract: Disclosed is a graphene laminate including a first graphene layer, containing an electron-donating functional group, and a second graphene layer, disposed on the first graphene layer and configured to include graphene, wherein the second graphene layer is n-doped with the first graphene layer. Thereby, graphene is doped with amino-group-modified graphene, thus preventing the transparency of graphene from decreasing, and the extent of doping of graphene can be adjusted, and the doping effect can last a long time even without any protective layer.

  • Patent number: 9718251
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a laminate comprising: a substrate; an organic surface modifying layer disposed on the substrate; and a porous organic semiconductor layer disposed on the surface modifying layer. Onto the substrate, introduction of the organic surface modifying layer having a low surface energy, and optionally the organic intermediate layer having a low glass transition temperature controls the self assembly of the organic semiconductor layer, allowing the porous organic semiconductor layer to have high crystallinity and large crystal grains. Also, provided is a highly efficient chemical sensor comprising the laminate.

  • Publication number: 20170210629
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing graphene, which includes bringing a metal catalyst into contact with hydrogen gas (Step a), bringing the metal catalyst in Step a into contact with at least one selected from among a hydrocarbon gas, nitrogen gas, and an inert gas (Step b), and forming graphene on the metal catalyst by bringing the metal catalyst in Step b into contact with hydrogen gas and a hydrocarbon gas (Step c), whereby the number of layers of graphene can be variously controlled as needed, regardless of the initial surface roughness of a metal catalyst layer, and also, the time required to form graphene can be shortened, thus reducing processing costs.

  • Publication number: 20160137509
    Abstract: Disclosed are graphene and a method of manufacturing the same. The method of manufacturing graphene includes forming a metal catalytic layer on a substrate (Step a), providing a cover member on the metal catalytic layer of Step a (Step b), and growing graphene on the metal catalytic layer of Step b by performing chemical vapor deposition (Step c), whereby the size of the micro-scale grain boundary on the surface of the metal catalyst can be reduced by simultaneously promoting the aggregation of metal catalytic molecules in a chemical vapor deposition device and preventing the evaporation of the metal catalyst due to the effect of the cover member, ultimately improving the quality of synthesized graphene, including the transparency thereof. Also, a graphene sheet can be grown under various concentrations of carbon source gas, and efficient mass production thereof is possible in a chemical vapor deposition device having a confined space.
