In this project, we will develop pressure and ultrasonic sensors based on graphene that would functionunder extreme operating conditions. The sensors will be engineering based on the principles of nanoelectro-mechanical devices, or NEMS based on a novel graphene-polymer heterostructure membrane.Graphene has several properties that uniquely lend themselves towards such extreme environmentapplications. For instance, graphene retains their exceptional mechanical strength and electronicconductivity to very high temperatures. Graphene exhibits unique electronic properties which whilesensitive to temperature, pressure, etc. can be sustained under extreme conditions, making it ideal forsensing applications. Electronic devices based on graphene have also been shown to survive ionisingradiation. The mechanical strength of these materials means that they can be used in, interact with andmonitor extreme conditions.

在这个项目中，我们将开发基于石墨烯的压力和超声波传感器，这种传感器可以在极端工作条件下工作。这些传感器将基于纳米机电设备的原理进行工程设计，即基于一种新型的石墨烯-聚合物异质结构膜的NEMS。石墨烯具有几种独特的性质，适合于这种极端环境应用。例如，石墨烯在非常高的温度下保持了其非凡的机械强度和电子传导性。石墨烯具有独特的电子性质，虽然对温度、压力等很敏感，但可以在极端条件下保持不变，使其成为传感应用的理想材料。基于石墨烯的电子设备也被证明能够经受住电离辐射。这些材料的机械强度意味着它们可以用于极端条件，与之相互作用，并监测极端条件。
