Investigation on Mechanical Behavior of Single-Layer Graphene with Grain Boundary Loops

Graphene is one of the most promising materials in nanotechnology. It is crucial to establish reliable structure-property relationships in the important two-dimensional crystalsgraphene-to fully use their remarkable properties. With the success in synthesizing large-area polycrystalline graphene, understanding how grain boundary loops in graphene alter its physical properties is of both scientic and technological importance.
