De buitengewone fysisch-chemische eigenschappen en het grote specifieke oppervlak van 2D materialen maken een overvloed aan applicaties mogelijk; ze kunnen gebruikt worden als platform voor de integratie van verschillende eenheden, clusters, moleculen of nanomaterialen in hybriden, wat kan leiden tot composieten met nieuwe en verbeterde eigenschappen. Anderzijds is de mate van controle over de architectuur, dikte en functionaliteit van de gevormde nanostructuren van groot belang voor het bereiden van laag-bij-laag hybride films. Het doel van dit proefschrift concentreert zich op de ontwikkeling en het bestuderen van nieuwe laag-dimensionale films en hybrides gebaseerd op gelaagde nanomaterialen, zoals grafeen en germanaan, geassembleerd met behulp van de Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) techniek

Development and study of low-dimensional hybrid and nanocomposite materials based on layered nanostructures

De buitengewone fysisch-chemische eigenschappen en het grote specifieke oppervlak van 2D materialen maken een overvloed aan applicaties mogelijk; ze kunnen gebruikt worden als platform voor de integratie van verschillende eenheden, clusters, moleculen of nanomaterialen in hybriden, wat kan leiden tot composieten met nieuwe en verbeterde eigenschappen. Anderzijds is de mate van controle over de architectuur, dikte en functionaliteit van de gevormde nanostructuren van groot belang voor het bereiden van laag-bij-laag hybride films. Het doel van dit proefschrift concentreert zich op de ontwikkeling en het bestuderen van nieuwe laag-dimensionale films en hybrides gebaseerd op gelaagde nanomaterialen, zoals grafeen en germanaan, geassembleerd met behulp van de Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) techniek.The extraordinary physicochemical properties and the high specific area of 2D materials render them very attractive for a plethora of potential applications; they can be used as platforms for integrating different moieties, clusters, molecules or nanomaterials into hybrids, allowing for the creation of composites with new or enhanced properties. On the other hand, the importance of preparing layer-by-layer hybrid films relies on the ability to control the architecture, the thickness, and the functionality of the formed nanostructures.The aim of this thesis focuses on the development and study of novel low-dimensional films and hybrids based on layered nanomaterials such as graphene and germanane, assembled with the help of the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique
