Thesis title: Graphene thin film for functional devices 

Thesis synopsis: In this research project, graphene thin film coatings with different thicknesses and different gas purging environment will be developed to achieve multi-functionalities such as the electronic, mechanical and protection of the substrate et al. Both fundamental mechanism of the coating, their main features and their applications in different fields will be explored.
