Classification framework for graphene-based materials

Abstract

Graphing graphene: Because the naming of graphene-based materials (GBMs) has led to confusion and inconsistency, a classification approach is necessary. Three physical-chemical properties of GBMs have been defined by the GRAPHENE Flagship Project of the European Union for the unequivocal classification of these materials (see grid).

Keywords: classification; graphene; nanotechnology; structure-activity relationship; toxicology.
