Graphene as biomedical sensing element: State of art review and potential engineering applications

Review on the research progress of cement-based and geopolymer materials modified by graphene and graphene oxide

“…Yu et al [40] and Park et al [41] showed that graphene-based nanocomposites have great poten-tial for improving photocatalytic efficiency. In addition, graphene can also be applied as a sensor element in minia-turized, biomedical sensor devices [42]. But at present, the use of graphene-based nanomaterials for the prepa-ration of cement-based composites and geopolymer com-posites is also one of the main research directions of cur-rent researchers.…”

Do biomedical engineers dream of graphene sheets?

“…Since it was successfully isolated for the first time in 2004 1 , graphene has proved to be a frontrunner nanomaterial for a wide range of biomedical engineering applications 2 by narrowing the gap among biology, electronics and nanoscience towards the development of more efficient diagnostic 3 and therapeutic 4 strategies. The vertiginous uprising of graphene in the biomedical field is intrinsically related to its set of amazing features, combining enhanced electrical, thermal, optical and mechanical properties with promising levels of biocompatibility.…”

Buckling Analysis of Single-Layer Graphene Sheets Using Molecular Mechanics

“…Graphene is a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms with unique physical and mechanical properties (Young et al, 2012), such as high room-temperature carrier mobility, high thermal conductivity, high tensile strength and stiffness and weak optical absorptivity. Owing to these remarkable properties, graphene has attracted considerable attention for applications in many fields (Choi et al, 2010;Li et al, 2014;Aïssa et al, 2015;Sun et al, 2015;Nguyen and Nguyen, 2016;Kumar et al, 2018;Mohan et al, 2018), including energy generation and storage (e.g., photovoltaic cells, hydrogen storage, supercapacitors), sensoring and actuating systems (e.g., gas sensors), electronics (e.g., conductive inks and flexible films), biotechnologies (e.g., membranes for water filtration, gas separation, DNA sequencing), composites.…”
