Graphene nanohole arrays (GNAs) were fabricated using nanoimprint lithography. The improved optical transmittance of GNAs is primarily due to the reduced surface coverage of graphene from the nanohole fabrication. Importantly, the exposed edges of the nanoholes provided effective sites for chemical doping using thiony…

The moisture transfer and absorption properties of fabrics play an important role in the evaluation of the overall wear comfort of the textile. The location of moisture in the textile influences the skin wetness as well as the skin/textile friction process. In this study, we used X-ray tomography to analyze the transp…
