Since the discovery of graphene, 2D materials have impacted almost all areas of scientific and technological research. The amazing properties of 2D materials such as large surface area, high electronic conduction, efficient charge transfer, high mechanical strength, transparency, and flexibility, among others, have generated a number of exciting applications in electronics, healthcare, sensors, biomedicine and sustainable materials.
In this webinar, presented by Mildred Quintana, we will understand where the properties of 2D materials derive from, we will describe van der Waals interactions, how 2D materials are obtained, as well as some strategies to integrate them into composite materials and new applications.
Finally, we will mention the limitations in 2D materials production and the broad spectrum of exciting prospects around them.
