ABSTRACT
Graphene family materials, with several exceptional properties, are rapidly emerging as nanomaterials that could revolutionize multiple fields from electronics to energy storage to biomedical applications. Graphene, graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are the most common members of this family, but the possibilities of further functionalization and modification are almost endless. Chapter 3 presents some key properties for these materials, and their application in polymer nanocomposites, especially during their fabrication, preparation, and properties of polymer/graphene scaffolds, and hydrogels for biomedical applications and tissue engineering.
