322 Biosensors Based on Nanomaterials and Nanodevices
Young’s modulus up to 1.0 TPa [29,30], making it the thinnest and strongest material. Other
outstanding properties of graphene include its large specic surface area, good thermal
qualities, storage capability, and magnetic properties. These interesting and exciting prop-
erties make graphene a fundamentally superior material with promising applications.
13.2.5 Preparation Methods
The properties of graphene are greatly affected by its synthesis routes. Various synthesis
routes can be used to tailor graphene for specic applications. In this section, we briey
discuss graphene preparation methods that are frequently used for electrochemical bio-
sensors. In general, there are two kinds of ap ...
