Shahid Akhter, spoke to Vikas Bardiya, Founder, Nanomatrix Materials, Bardiya Group, to know more about graphene and its application in healthcare by way of antimicrobial activity toward bacteria, fungi and viruses.
Graphene industry and the technology
Graphene is 1 atom thick sheet of carbon in a honeycomb crystal hexagon. It is one of the most exciting subjects for researches as it possesses tremendous properties and can be used in almost every application in the world. It is the strongest material in the world which is 200 times stronger than steel and 20 times lighter than a feather. This is the best conductor of electricity and best thermal insulator.
There are a number of applications where graphene has gained its most attention, be it Rechargeable batteries, polymers, textile, construction and most recently in healthcare.
With its honeycomb like 2-D structure, graphene provides…
