TL;DR: It is reported that graphene coatings do not significantly disrupt the intrinsic wetting behaviour of surfaces for which surface-water interactions are dominated by van der Waals forces, and contact angle measurements indicate that a graphene monolayer is wetting-transparent to copper, gold or silicon, but not glass, for which the wettability is dominated by short-range chemical bonding.

TL;DR: A macro graphene foam-like three-dimensional network which combines the best of both worlds is reported which is a mechanically robust and flexible macro-scale network that is easy to contact and can rival the durability and affordability of traditional sensors.

TL;DR: Some of the significant work performed with graphene and its derivatives for gas detection and a perspective on the challenges that need to be overcome to enable commercially viable graphene chemical sensor technologies are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the liquid−solid phase change enthalpy, crystallization, and thermal conductivity of graphene/1-octadecanol (stearyl alcohol) composite, a nanostructured phase change material, was investigated as a function of graphene content.

TL;DR: The graphene band structure is sensitive to lattice symmetry and several methods have been developed to break this symmetry and open an energy gap, which is the major obstacle limiting the utilization of graphene in nano-electronic and -photonic devices, such as p–n junctions, transistors, photodiodes, and lasers.
