Abstract

A method of transferring graphene to a polymeric substrate is disclosed herein. In a described embodiment, the method 400 comprises heating the polymeric substrate at 408 to at least partially melt the polymeric substrate; compressing the at least partially melted polymeric substrate against the graphene at 410 to form an intermediate graphene composite; and cooling the intermediate graphene composite at 412 to transfer the graphene to the polymeric substrate. Apparatuses for performing the transfer are also disclosed.
