#9: Graphene as a drug delivery material
Graphene has number of favorable properties that makes it ideal for biomedical applications. Graphene has high surface area that can be exploited specially in drug delivery applications. Also, graphene can be surface modified with relative ease and made to bind in to specific drug and can be used as drug delivery vehicles. The surface modification can also be used to impart certain functional groups that have higher affinity towards important cell types through specific ligands. These smart carriers, can specifically bind to cell types to deliver drug, make cell easier to image and sometimes to perform cellular diagnostics. Due to the lipophilic nature of graphene they can pass through cell membranes in to the cells. Most of the research in this field however, is still in the lab level and would take some time since we see graphene enhanced drugs in the market.
