New methods towards the synthesis of graphene nanoribbons and study of the polymerization of acetylnaphthalene

Chapter 1 describes work towards the synthesis of graphene nanoribbons with varying widths and edge structures. Interest in graphene comes from the high electron mobility at room temperature, exceptional thermal conductivity, and superior mechanical properties.¹ These properties enable graphene’s...
