Description:: The successful isolation of graphene marked the advent of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Their atomically thin structures enable unprecedented electrical, optical, and mechanical properties, which have triggered significant research interests in the past decade. For instance, they are promising candidates for the fabrication of flexible electronics, biological sensors, battery electrodes, and...

Description:: Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TDMCs) are one of many families of two-dimensional (2D) beyond graphene, that started to gain more attention due to the need for miniaturization and their unique electrical, mechanical, and optical properties. Some members of TMDCs, such as MoS2, has direct band gap in its monolayer form, making...

Description:: Polymer nanocomposites are a class of advanced materials comprised of soft polymer matrix and nano-filler inclusions. While it has been found qualitatively that enhancements of material properties could be achieved by dispersing inorganic nano-particles into organic polymer matrix, the intrinsic governing principles of such composite has not been thoroughly studied...
