Graphene And Related Materials Deposition Using Spray-Gun Deposition Method: Different Applications And Industrial Implementation (Graphene Europe 2018)

This contribution we will deal with the implementation of the technology developed at Thales Research and Technology concerning spray-gun deposition method for different applications. This technique was firstly developed in 2006 to fabricate Carbon Nanotubes based gas sensors and then implemented for Graphene based supercapacitors and memories. Now we are working on this technique in order to develop conformable electromagnetic absorber layers. During the presentation, we will show how we moved from fabrication on small samples to roll-to-roll fabrication (expected the next year in the frame of the Graphene Flagship initiative).

Dr. Paolo Bondavalli is in charge of the transverse topic on nanomaterials at Thale Research and Technology. Presently his work is focused on the development of new materials (e.g. graphene, cnts, nanowires) for the new generation of electronics devices and for energy storage applications, memristor, electromagnetic shielding. Dr Bondavalli has received his Hdr in 2011, at Paris-Sud on a work on "devices based on random network of carbon nanotubes". During the last five years, he has participated, also as coordinator, in several EU projects (concerning CNTs, graphene, spintronics, energy) and ANR projects. He is involved in the Graphene Flagship initiative. He recently issued a book on Graphene ("Graphene and Related Materials: Properties and Applications" Ed Elsevier, pp 192, 2017).
