dc.description.abstractLaser-induced graphene (LIG) was recently discovered by one step laser induction of CO2 laser (10.6 µm wavelength) under ambient atmosphere. Because of the porous structure with lots of defect sites, LIG were studied as mircrosupercapacitors, electrochemical catalyst, heat transfer and number of applications are being researched. In this thesis, in the first chapter, I will begin my work with tuning the laser parameters to understand the formation of the LIG structure that was found to be a fluid dynamic that interestingly, is similar to a sneeze. A new LIG structure, another product of this laser induction process which named Laser Induced Graphene Scrolls (LIGS) was also discovered as scrolled version of LIG that can be fabricated to millimeter scale vertical aligned forest. The second chapter will be the laminated object manufacturing technique for the 3D printing of both LIG and LIGS and their potential applications in energy storage and high strength graphene base composite. Lastly, in the third chapter, I will discuss how control environment alter the morphology and doping of LIG that eventually leading to the change from superhydrophobic to superhydrophilics.en_US
