Graphene/silicon carbide-based scaffolds

3D-SiC/2D-C structures were fabricated from SiC wafers by first producing a micro-porous material by anodization, and then using a two-step annealing process to modify the porous matrix and initiate the formation of a 2D-carbon coating through a self-organized process. Topological features of the ob...

More Information
Summary:3D-SiC/2D-C structures were fabricated from SiC wafers by first producing a micro-porous material by anodization, and then using a two-step annealing process to modify the porous matrix and initiate the formation of a 2D-carbon coating through a self-organized process. Topological features of the obtained structures extend from the macro- down to the nano-scale. It is expected that such a topology, in combination with the high corrosion resistance and bio-compatibility of both SiC and nano-carbon, will make the 3D-SiC/2D-C structures suitable for applications in bio-engineering.
