Abstract
We demonstrate a surface energy modification method exploiting graphene film. Spin-cast, atomic layer thick, large-area reduced graphene film successfully played the role of surface energy modifier for arbitrary surfaces. The degree of reduction enabled the tuning of the surface energy. Sufficiently reduced graphene served as a neutral surface modifier to induce surface perpendicular lamellae or cylinders in a block copolymer nanotemplate. Our approach integrating large-area graphene film preparation with block copolymer lithography is potentially advantageous in creating semiconducting graphene nanoribbons and nanoporous graphene.
