A Review on Graphene Based Metal/Metal Oxide Composites and Enhanced Properties along with Biomedical Applications

Graphene based metal/metal oxide composites are attracted much interest and attention as promising entrant to available biomedical devices owing to their good stability and unique properties. The fame of Graphene oxide (GO) has been on the increase due to their several applications in the fields of super capacitor and storage devices, ionic conductors and Nano sized membranes. GO is used as light emitting material, which makes it particularly suitable for various medical applications like protein bio-sensing and disease discovery, targeted drug delivery and antimicrobial materials are just some of the possibilities GO holds for the biomedical field. GO can easily be mixed with different polymers and other materials, and enhance properties of composite materials like tensile strength, elasticity, conductivity and more. In this present review, discussed thoroughly with graphene based metal/metal oxide composites are used for different applications like antibacterial, antimicrobial, and biomedical etc. In future we expect fine control of the quantity of RGOhybrids is an important challenge to control toxicity.
