• thin films, molecular layers and nanostructured semiconductors from the substrates on which they are grown has been developed over several decades for applications in photonics, sensing and flexible electronics. In early work the focus was on the formation of ultra-smooth metal surfaces [1][2][3][4][5

• properties of the graphene membrane. In this paper, we investigated the morphological and electrical properties of CVD graphene transferred onto SiO2 and on a polymeric substrate (poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate), briefly PEN), suitable for microelectronics and flexible electronics applications
