Features that make graphene suitable for its use as catalist 

Strong substrate-catalyst interaction. Possibility to provide charge density at certain stages of the reaction mechanism. 

The extended 7t orbital of G has electron density above and below the sheet. This extended conjugation is responsible for the extremely high-electrical conductivity of G that can be even higher than the electrical conductivity of metals. Also charge mobility and the density of carriers in G are very high and, for this reason, many of the promising applications of G are in the domain of microelectronics. 

Like metals and also due to its electrical conductivity, G is a material that also has a high heat transmission capacity. In addition, one of the properties of G directly related to the interplay between heat and electrical conductivity is its high Seebeck coefficient that measures of efficiency to generate voltage when the material is submitted to heating on one side as consequence of the temperature gradient between the two faces. 

One remarkable property of G is transparency to the light in almost the whole UV-vis spectral range. Single layer G supported on a transparent substrate should absorb a minute amount of light and the transmittance

Although the structure of the surface that produces the diffraction pattern must be periodic in two dimensions, it need not be the same substance as the bulk material. Thus LEED is a particularly sensitive tool for studying the structures and properties of thin layers adsorbed epitaxially on the surfaces of crystals.

A potential energy function is a mathematical equation that allows for the potential energy, V, of a chemical system to be calculated as a function of its tliree-dimensional (3D) structure, R. The equation includes terms describing the various physical interactions that dictate the structure and properties of a chemical system. The total potential energy of a chemical system with a defined 3D strucmre, V(R)iai, can be separated into terms for the internal, V(/ )i,iBmai, and external, V(/ )extemai, potential energy as described in the following equations.

Subsequent chapters deal with individual classes of plastics. In each case a review is given of the preparation, structure and properties of the material. In order to prevent the book from becoming too large I have omitted detailed discussion of processing techniques. Instead, with each major class of material an indication is given of the main processing characteristics. The applications of the various materials are considered in the light of the merits and the demerits of the material.
