Although there are many examples in the literature of multilayer graphene fabrication and electrical characterization, there is a lack of data on the mechanical properties of multilayer graphene, especially many layer. Conversely there is data about the mechanical properties of single layer graphene, and limited information about bilayer and few layer, but little about many layer. Multilayer Graphene was fabricated using chemical vapor deposition on a Nickel catalyst. Different flow rates and cooling rates were investigated to produce many layer films. Due to the high strength in graphene, these films were able to be suspended over millimeter size openings and have a differential pressure applied. This allowed for the characterization of the strength of these membranes using bulge testing.
