Summary

How much does a sheet of graphene, and the polymer left on it after transfer, actually weigh? Etching the graphene off a QCM in an oxygen plasma while following the resonance gives the total mass with sub-monolayer resolution, and the different etch rates separate contamination from graphene; polymer-based dry transfer can make a sheet ten times heavier.

Summary written by the openQCM team. The original abstract is on the publisher’s page.
