    This seminar presented a method for producing graphene flakes through exfoliation of non-oxidized graphite using graphite intercalation compounds (GICs). Graphene was exfoliated from GICs formed by intercalating potassium sodium tartarate tetrahydrate into graphite at 2500C. The exfoliated graphene was dispersed in pyridine via sonication. Graphene films were produced using a modified Langmuir-Blodgett technique, yielding a sheet resistance of approximately 1.4 kΩ/□. Future work will focus on decreasing the resistance and increasing the transparency of graphene films as well as developing additional graphene composites.
