Abstract

This review mainly focuses on the research of biocompatibility of graphene-based material in the past few years. As graphene-based material has been considered a great candidate for biomedical use, it attracts great interests of many researchers.It is not clear yet that whether the graphene and its derivatives are safe enough to be the biosensor in human’s body. Common graphene is always to have reaction with human’s substance inside and produce harmful substance. However, some of its derivatives may do not have the same problem. So, this research proposal wants to find out the cytotoxicity of the graphene and its derivatives. In addition, the review wants to conclude a standard about to what extent of cytotoxicity is the graphene-based material allowed to be used in human’s body and do not produce harm to our health.Therefore, biocompatibility of graphene-based material has gradually become the topic of various scientists. This review summarizes the latest researches in the past few years and different results. In conclusion, future path of the research is given and what has to be emphasized is that before graphene-based material is in vivo applications, its biocompatibility must be clearly examined.
