Graphene-based conductor materials (GCMs) consist of stacked and decoupled layers of graphene flakes and could potentially transfer graphene’s outstanding material properties like its exceptional electrical conductivity to the macro scale, where alternatives to the heavy and expensive metallic conductors are desperately needed. To reach super-metallic conductivity however, a systematic electrical conductivity optimization regarding the structural and physical input parameters is required. Here, a new trend in the field of process and material optimization are data-based models which utilize data science methods to quickly identify and abstract information and relationships from the available data. In this work such data-based models for the conductivity of a real GCM thin-film sample are build on data generated with an especially improved and extended version of the network simulation approach by Rizzi et al. [1, 2, 3]. Appropriate methods to create data-based models for GCMs are thereby introduced and typical challenges during the modelling process are addressed, so that data-based models for other properties of GCMs can be easily created as soon as sufficient data is accessible. Combined with experimental measurements by Slawig et al. [4] the created data-based models allow for a coherent and comprehensive description of the thin-films’
electrical parameters across several length scales.:List of Figures
