GRAPHENE MEMBRANE REPAIR

摘要

Technologies described herein are generally related to systems and processes for repairing a graphene membrane on a support. A chamber may receive a layer of graphene on a support. The layer of graphene may include a hole. A first container including an initiator may be effective to apply an initiator through the hole to the support to functionalize the support and produce an initiator layer on the support. A second container including an activator may be effective to apply an activator through the hole to the initiator layer to activate the initiator layer. The application of the activator may further be effective to grow a polymer from the initiator layer. The growth of the polymer may be effective to produce a polymer plug in the hole and effective to repair at least a portion of the layer of graphene.

1. A system to repair a layer of graphene including a hole, the system comprising:
a chamber to receive the layer of graphene on a support; a first container in operative relationship with the chamber, wherein the first container includes an initiator; and a second container in operative relationship with the chamber, wherein the second container includes an activator; and wherein the chamber is configured to
operate with the first container to apply the initiator through the hole to the support to functionalize the support and to produce an initiator layer on the support;operate with the second container to apply the activator through the hole to the initiator layer to activate the initiator layer; andoperate with the second container to grow a polymer from the initiator layer by use of the activator to produce a polymer plug in the hole.
