ABSTRACT
Graphene has garnered substantial attention in the biomedical field owing to its exceptional physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, including a large surface area, superior thermal and optical properties, and modifiability. Consequently, graphene has found extensive utilization across diverse clinical applications. Graphene’s versatility is showcased through its various forms, including graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), graphene quantum dots, and graphene nanosheets. The capacity to modify its chemical structure and properties enhances its functionality. Further, its compatibility with various biomaterials empowers graphene to surpass inherent limitations, thus establishing its indispensable role within the expansive realm of the medical industry. This chapter aims to provide insights into the application domains of graphene, drawing on current research to accentuate its pivotal role in various fields, including cancer therapy, drug/gene delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensors.
Keywords: Graphite; nanotechnology; precision medicine
