Graphene properties interaction substrate

Recent studies have started to broaden the choice of substrates to include surfaces that possess intriguing properties that could be used to interface with the adsorbed supramolecular structure or to influence the self-assembly process via substrate-adsorbate interactions. Examples of such surfaces include two surfaces that exhibit a moire superstructure, graphene, and boron-nitride monolayers. ... 

CNTs and graphene have superior mechanical flexibility and elastic properties under large strain and load. The mechanical properties of individual CNTs have been widely studied. Because of the superior mechanical properties of individual CNTs and their strong substrate interactions, thin paper made of randomly distributed CNTs shows unprecedented mechanical performance, including mechanical flexibility, stretchability, and foldability, which are essentially useful for flexibility displays.
