Graphene-bioceramic composites

Abstract

The Combination of graphene, graphene oxide or reduced graphene oxides with ceramic materials, especially hydroxyapatite, allows for the production of composites with better mechanical properties and often better biocompatibility and bioactivity than the individual components. This chapter reviews the work published in this rapidly growing field, and discusses the challenges yet to be solved to allow graphene/bioceramic composites to fully meet their potential.
