Graphene in Biomedical Applications
Graphene has emerged as a "wonder material" in the biomedical field. From drug delivery to cancer therapy, its multipurpose characteristics are making medicine more targeted, effective, and adaptable.
Drug Delivery
- Various chemical groups (such as epoxy, hydroxyl, carboxyl) are present on the surface of graphene and graphene oxide, which are suitable for binding and controlled release of drugs.
- Graphene oxide is hydrophilic (water-soluble), biodegradable, and non-toxic, making it a safe carrier for delivering drugs inside the body.
- Graphene-based nanoplatelets are being used in targeted drug delivery, imaging, and the treatment of diseases like cancer.
Biosensors
- Graphene's high electrical conductivity, large surface area, ....
