Stenciling graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes using elastomeric lift-off membranes

Abstract

"Figure Presented" Stenciling graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes, all of which are in hydrazine, can be stenciled onto substrates using a thin elastiomeric membrane composed of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (see figure). This method represents a flexible route to stencil a family of carbon nanomaterials and could be used for patterning other solvent dispersed derivatives of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphenes. © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH &, Co.
