Abstract

Much debate has been going on as to how nanotechnology will impact the way we live. With the discovery of Graphene, an atom thick allotrope of Carbon, new doors have opened with regard to its potential uses in the field of nanotechnology and possibilities seem endless. Much of the attention is now directed towards achieving a scalable means of production of graphene. The paper tries to highlight the properties of graphene which makes it widely sought after and lists some of the possible applications and uses.
