The functional layers of few-layer two-dimensional (2-D) thin flakes on flexible polymers for stretchable applications have attracted much interest. However, most fabrication methods are "indirect" processes that require transfer steps. Moreover, previously reported "transfer-free" methods are only suitable for graphene and not for other few-layer 2-D thin flakes. Here, a friction based room temperature rubbing method is proposed for fabricating different types of few-layer 2-D thin flakes (graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂), and tungsten disulphide (WS₂)) on flexible polymer substrates. Commercial 2-D raw materials (graphite, h-BN, MoS₂, and WS₂) that contain thousands of atom layers were used. After several minutes, different types of few-layer 2-D thin flakes were fabricated directly on the flexible polymer substrates by rubbing procedures at room temperature and without any transfer step. These few-layer 2-D thin flakes strongly adhere to the flexible polymer substrates. This strong adhesion is beneficial for future applications.
用于可拉伸应用的柔性聚合物上的少层二维(2-D)薄片的功能层引起了广泛关注。然而,大多数制造方法是需要转移步骤的“间接”工艺。此外,先前报道的“无转移”方法仅适用于石墨烯,不适用于其他少层二维薄片。在此,提出了一种基于摩擦的室温摩擦方法,用于在柔性聚合物基板上制造不同类型的少层二维薄片(石墨烯、六方氮化硼(h-BN)、二硫化钼(MoS₂)和二硫化钨(WS₂))。使用了包含数千个原子层的商用二维原材料(石墨、h-BN、MoS₂和WS₂)。几分钟后,通过室温下的摩擦程序,无需任何转移步骤,就在柔性聚合物基板上直接制造出了不同类型的少层二维薄片。这些少层二维薄片与柔性聚合物基板牢固粘附。这种强粘附性有利于未来的应用。
