A new paper titled ”Conductive hydrophobic graphene oxide films via laser-scribed surface modification” was accepted for publication in Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, led by Prof Shirin Alexander from Swansea and a team of researchers, including Dr Marcos Villeda Hernandez and Charl Faul. The study investigated the behaviour of a carboxylate functionalized graphene oxide with water repellent property and improved electrical conductivity.
