Description

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Physics - Other, grade: 8.36, , course: BSc (Hons.) Physics, language: English, abstract: In this review, Graphene in the context of its application in the drug delivery system will be analysed. Graphene was first isolated using mechanical exfoliation within the now famous 'scotch-tape method'. The benzene-like structure of the hexagonal components of the lattice allows it to be thought of like a giant aromatic poly-molecule. Even without further functionalisation, this structure provides useful properties in the delivery method: aromatic molecules may bind to graphene through non-covalent interactions between carbon-rings and the large relative surface area of 2D geometry permits a single graphene flake to be decorated with a raft of different aromatic groups.
