This approach has been used to form one-dimensional polymers [19] and graphene nanoribbons [20] with lengths up to ≈40 nm, small domains of multiply-connected molecules [18][20][21][25][28] and more extended two-dimensional

For the case of graphene nanoribbons direct mechanical transfer has been demonstrated [20] but the process remains relatively uncontrolled. The

The substrate interactions can clamp a graphene

We finally consider pseudo-ribbon-based heterostructures and propose that such structures present a novel approach for band gap engineering in nanostructured graphene.
