Of late, graphene, being the multifunctional carbon nanomaterial has exceptional properties including electrical, thermal, mechanical, optical, and long electron means free paths made it compelling for various engineering applications. Research efforts have been fervent for reconnoitring the essential physics, chemistry and nano-mechanics of graphene. The characteristic features of graphene, namely, Hall Effect, utmost charge transport and highest thermal conductivity, have not yet been witnessed in any materials. The potential applications of graphene include the fabrication of transparent & flexible electrodes, its polymer composites for mechanical engineering applications, energy storage, chemical-sensors and biomedical engineering. Consequently, the future strategic efforts for advanced graphene-era directs to the requisite extensive fundamental research that is essential to offer a basic understanding and their nano-engineering potential.
