SUMMARY:Chemically linking 2D nanosheets to generate new materials with n
 ovel properties

DESCRIPTION:National Graphene Institute will be hosting a seminar from a 
 distinguished speaker\, Prof CNR Rao from India\, who is receiving honor
 ary doctorate from University of Manchester. \n\n\nProperties of graphen
 e and other 2D materials have been investigated widely.  Recent studies 
 of van der Waals heterostructures have provided a new direction in the s
 tudy of 2D materials.  \nA new approach is to covalently bond the nanosh
 eets of the same or different materials.  This strategy is a novel and u
 seful means of achieving improved as well as new properties.  \nCovalent
  bonding of nanosheets is achieved by employing different coupling react
 ions\, depending on the functional groups already present or created in 
 the 2D sheets.  We shall examine \nsome of the important systems and the
 ir impressive properties.1  2D sheets have also been successfully linked
  by supramolecular means.\n\nReferences\n\n\n1.      C.N.R. Rao\, K. Pra
