This paper reports a comprehensive study of surface functionalised graphene for photon detection in the UV-VIS-NIR range. We have studied CVD single layer graphene and inkjet-printed graphene functionalised by PbS quantum dots, CsPbX3 nanocrystals, and van der Waals semiconductor materials.

This study shows that the magnitude of improvement in the properties of composites with graphene depend on the structure of the graphene fillers (i.e., dimensions and number of graphene layers). The impacts of graphene flake size on the mechanical properties of epoxy resin and PU resin were different.

Work completed by Brown University showed that dry graphene or graphene oxide nano-films interfered with host-seeking behavior of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The specific aim of this effort is to expand upon this knowledge and to develop military-specific textile technologies to reduce exposure to arthropod bites without degrading the desired properties of uniform materials.

This work reviews a series of both historical and recent works reporting on the thermal properties of various low-dimensional carbon films and their interfaces, the research for which was funded via various programs in the United State Department of Defense.
