Physical Properties of Nanomaterials: Graphene

Summary

Nanomaterials are very diverse, unusual, and often unique magnetic properties, and hence, researchers' attention has been drawn toward great perspectives for the creation of new highly effective magnetic materials. The single‐domain structure determines the specific magnetic properties of ferromagnetic materials. Upon decrease in size of these materials, single‐domain structure might be energetically advantageous in such condition than multidomain structure of bulk ferromagnetic materials. Optical characteristics of nanomediums have been described by a number of theories. Adequate experimental results show that diffusion processes play a significant role during the realization of unique properties in nanomaterials, such as plasticity, superplasticity, destruction, and structure reduction processes. This chapter describes the structure of graphene and topology of hexagonal carbon lattice. It also discusses the basic physical property and characteristics of graphene. Special characteristics of graphene such as thrombogenicity, biotoxicity and biocompatibility, antibacterial effects are highlighting its biomedical applications.
