SKIPPER1	Graphene Sheets from Solution
Type	Experimental
#students	2
Orientation	Why is the scientific problem of interest at all? Isolated sheets of graphite are know as "graphene", and are predicted to possess many useful physical and electronic properties. Unfortunately, the current methods for producing graphene involve a block a graphite, some sellotape and a huge amount of patience!
How	How is the research going to shed light on the given problem?. In this project we will attempt to dissolve small graphene platelets, and deposit them on a flat substrate.
What	What is the specific thing that the student will do, and how does it fit inside the overall project? In addition, if time permits, you will co-dissolve single walled carbon nanotubes to make composite films with enhanced properties.
