Graphene Based Biopolymer Nanocomposite Applications in Drug Delivery

Abstract

In previous years graphene based material have found extensive uses in the field biotechnology and medical sciences including drug delivery. By virtue of their exceptional properties like two-dimensional planar structure, huge surface area, chemical, and mechanical stability, super conductivity and good biocompatibility. Graphene and graphene oxide have been predominantly analyzed as few of the supreme auspicious biomaterials for biomedical applications. These properties consequence in encouraging utilization designed for the proposal of progressive drug delivery systems and delivery of a wide scope of therapeutics. In this review, we commenced an outline of novel development in this area of research. In present study we also elaborate the functionalization i.e. covalent and non-covalent functionalization of graphene oxide. We shortly illustrate recent procedures for the surface amendment of graphene-based nanocarriers, their biocompatibility, and toxicity, monitored by compacted of the most engaging cases established for the distribution of anti-cancer drugs and genes. Lastly, the review is concise, by a short consequence of upcoming forecasts and tasks in this field.
