Abstract: A method for the repair of defects in a graphene or other two-dimensional material through interfacial polymerization.

Abstract: A ground-, sea- or aircraft-based laser transmission system can be implemented to remotely and wirelessly transmit power to an airship to be stored in an energy storage device, such as a battery. The airship can include an energy collection system having a plurality of photovoltaic cells arranged in an array and electrically coupled to the energy storage system. The energy collection system can also include one or more control link components positioned adjacent the array of photovoltaic cells. The control link components are configured to establish a control link between the airship and a power transmission system. The plurality of photovoltaic cells are configured to transfer laser beam transmitted energy from the power transmission system to the energy storage system.

Abstract: It can be difficult to remove atomically thin films, such as graphene, graphene-based material and other two-dimensional materials, from a growth substrate and then to transfer the thin films to a secondary substrate. Tearing and conformality issues can arise during the removal and transfer processes. Processes for forming a composite structure by manipulating a two-dimensional material, such as graphene or graphene-base material, can include: providing a two-dimensional material adhered to a growth substrate; depositing a supporting layer on the two-dimensional material while the two-dimensional material is adhered to the growth substrate; and releasing the two-dimensional material from the growth substrate, the two-dimensional material remaining in contact with the supporting layer following release of the two-dimensional material from the growth substrate.

Abstract: Two-dimensional materials, particularly graphene-based materials, having a plurality of apertures therein can be formed into enclosures for various substances and a fibrous layer can be provided on an outside and/or on an inside of the enclosure. The enclosures can be exposed to an environment, such as a biological environment (in vivo or in vitro), where the fibrous layer can promote vascular ingrowth. One or more substances within the enclosure can be released into the environment, one or more selected substances from the environment can enter the enclosure, one or more selected substances from the environment can be prevented from entering the enclosure, one or more selected substances can be retained within the enclosure, or combinations thereof. The enclosure can, for example, allow a sense-response paradigm to be realized. The enclosure can, for example, provide immunoisolation for materials, such as living cells, retained therein.
