ABSTRACT

These properties enable graphene to be considered as an ideal material for a broad range of applications, ranging from quantum physics, nanoelectronics, energy research, catalysis, and engineering of nanocomposites and biomaterials. In this context, graphene and its composites have emerged as a new biomaterial, which provides exciting opportunities for the development of a broad range of applications, such as nanocarriers for drug delivery. The building block of graphene is completely different from other graphite materials and three-dimensional geometric shapes of carbon, such as zero-dimensional spherical fullerenes and one-dimensional carbon nanotubes.
