Abstract:
Since its easy isolation by the exfoliation of graphite in 2004 by Novoselov, Geim and co-
workers, graphene has been attracting enormous attention to the scientific community.
Because of its unique properties, graphene has made way for technological applications in
many areas such as lithium battery, touch screen, medical treatment, and energy
harvesting. Problems associated with explosion and cracking and efficient use of a device
can be solved with the help of graphene novel properties. The electrical, thermal and
optical properties of graphene were well studied and the mechanical property was under
investigation. Here, the reviewer has reviewed the methods of syntheses and
characterization of the mechanical and the frictional properties of graphene and based on
Experimental and modeling data the frictional and the mechanical properties of graphene
reviewed.
