From the article

Single-layer graphene is interesting as a flexible 2D material, with xy -dimensions variable up to a centimetre in length and a z-thickness of a single carbon atom. It conducts heat and electricity, has excellent mechanical strength, and is impermeable to gases except hydrogen gas. Its drawback: how to disperse it in a liquid. When you try to do this flexible sheets of graphene tend to stack as a result of attractive van der Waals interactions, making it virtually an impossible material to disperse as single sheets.
