What Are the Limitations of the Scotch Tape Method?
Despite its simplicity, the Scotch Tape Method does have limitations. It can be labor-intensive and may not be suitable for large-scale production. The method also lacks precision in controlling the thickness of the exfoliated layers, which can vary from monolayers to few-layer sheets. Researchers are continually developing alternative methods, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and liquid-phase exfoliation, to overcome these limitations.
