Our early top-down micromechanical exfoliation\u003Cbr \/\u003E\napproaches [1,2] conceived of in 1998 yielded multilayer graphene. Two main research areas\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nof our group are: (i) CVD growth of large area graphene on metal substrates and studies of\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nsuch material, and (ii) the generation, study, and use of colloids consisting of graphene-based\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nplatelets dispersed in liquids. An update of our work on CVD growth of graphene on metal\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nsubstrates \u2018graphene\u2019 colloidal suspensions will be given.
