Having high charge carrier mobility and superior elastic properties, graphene is a very suitable material for flexible electronics. However, it is usually desired to remove and prevent unintentional doping due to wet processes used for transfer printing of graphene. Although it does not produce a graphene film as smooth as an exfoliated graphene sheet transferred onto SiO2/Si wafer, dry transfer of graphene could be favored for applications that do not require very high charge carrier mobility. In addition, controlling the number of layers in synthesizing multilayer graphene will be an ability of great importance for applications involving resistances lower and charge carrier densities higher than that of single layer graphene. We developed a method for making multilayered graphene-based conductive films on 75μm-thick PVC film. The graphene is synthesized via atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) on 20μm-thick copper foils. After forming the Cu/graphene/PVC stack via lamination by hot rollers, selective etching with aqueous FeCl3 solution is provided by hydrophobic permanent marker ink deposited onto the parts of the copper layer to become contact pads. The multilayered conductive films can be obtained by iterative application of this scheme in which the selective etching is applied after the last lamination. The conductive film based on single layer graphene manifested sheet resistances of the order of 1 kΩ and Hall coefficients of up to 1200 Ω/T, and withstood current density greater than 1.9 x 109 A/m2. The resistance and Hall coefficient values were found to decrease with increase in the number of layers. Our method could be used as a platform for proof-of-concept works aiming to demonstrate graphene’s potential for flexible electronics. The structural, thermal, and electronic characterization of the multilayered graphene-based conductive films on the PVC film is to be presented.

Characterization of novel materials for fused filament fabrication AL-DUAIS, ABDULLAH ABDULRAHMAN NAJI; Özerinç, Sezer; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-6-24) Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a polymer additive manufacturing technology that is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its low cost and ease of use. This thesis investigated two types of novel materials for FFF use. First, a foaming PLA filament is considered and the mechanical properties of 3D printed specimens using this filament is characterized. The results show that the strength, modulus and density of the foaming PLA can be tuned over a wide range of values by varying FFF process par...
Development of a large area germanium on insulator platform by liquid phase epitaxy Özyurt, Zişan İrem; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2017) Germanium is a group IV element compatible with CMOS (Complementary metal oxide semiconductor) fabrication technology and advantageous over silicon by having smaller band gap and higher carrier mobility, which provide infrared photodetectors and high-speed transistors respectively. In addition, by having direct band gap, strained-Ge enables fabrication of infrared lasers. Finally, thanks to lattice-matching, Ge layers on Si can also be used as virtual substrates for the growth of III-V compounds on Si. In o...
Synthesis of few layer single crystal graphene grains on platinum by chemical vapour deposition Karamat, S.; Sonusen, S.; ÇELİK, ÜMİT; UYSALLI, YİĞİT; Ozgonul, EKİN; Oral, Ahmet (2015-08-01) The present competition of graphene electronics demands an efficient route which produces high quality and large area graphene. Chemical vapour deposition technique, where hydrocarbons dissociate in to active carbon species and form graphene layer on the desired metal catalyst via nucleation is considered as the most suitable method. In this study, single layer graphene with the presence of few layer single crystal graphene grains were grown on Pt foil via chemical vapour deposition. The higher growth tempe...
Modification of TiO2 and NiO charge selective mesoporous layers using excessive Y and Li additions for carbon based perovskite solar cells Icli, Kerem Cagatay; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2021-09-15) Carbon based perovskite solar cells are rapidly emerging as promising photovoltaic devices, combining low cost production and prolonged device operation, due to the exclusion of polymeric conductors and integration of highly durable metal oxide charge selective layers. Modification of metal oxide mesoporous layers via element additions and enhancement of electrical conductivity is a major strategy for reduced internal resistances inside the cell. This work investigates the effect of excessive Y and Li addit...
Modeling of the rectifier of a mini absorption cooling device using ceramic hollow fiber membranes Ozkan, Onur; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Baker, Derek Keıth (2015-05-20) Miniaturized and mobile absorption cooling devices may be used in many applications, but effective and small size heat and mass exchangers are required. Ceramic hollow fiber membranes are thermally stable so that they can be used for the rectification of ammonia in an absorption cooling device. In this paper the simultaneous heat and mass transfer between the ammonia-water vapor and the reflux liquid is modeled in a rectifier with hydrophobic ceramic hollow fiber membranes. A similar model is used to simula...
