| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Graphene is a single atom-thick, two-dimensional (2D) material made only of carbon atoms. Graphene shows high electrical and thermal conductivities, good mechanical flexibility, and optical transparency, which promise many applications. In this work, we have developed a new method to synthesize multi-layer graphene with a micro-tubular structure. This structure can be applied to artificial blood vessels. Moreover, using multi-layer graphene, we have succeeded in demonstrating the mechanical strain sensors with high strain sensitivity.
