Graphene-Based Polymer Composites for Biomedical Applications thoroughly reviews the incorporation of graphene into polymer matrices for use in various biomedical applications. Fundamental principles and key aspects of graphene are introduced, including properties, methods of synthesis, and procedures for characterization. Readers are guided through selection of polymer matrices, dispersion techniques, and fabrication processes to enhance the structural, mechanical, electrical, and thermal characteristics of graphene-polymer composites. A wide range of biomedical applications is assessed, including uses in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering scaffolds, biosensors, medical imaging contrast agents, and blood/brain interfaces, whilst carefully considering key advantages and possible challenges. Finally, translational and safety aspects are detailed, outlining requirements and expectations for biocompatibility assessments, safety considerations, and regulatory frameworks. Graphene-Based Polymer Composites for Biomedical Applications is a useful reference for researchers and academics in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, and tissue engineering.
