About this Research Topic
Piezoelectric materials have the ability to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa, making them ideal for various applications such as ultrasound imaging, energy harvesting, and
sensors. Recently, piezoelectric materials have gained interest in biomedical applications,particularly in developing biocompatible sensors and devices for monitoring vital signs, as well as drug delivery, and tissue engineering. The use of 2D materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, as the base material for piezoelectric biomaterials, is a new area of research.
These materials have unique properties, including high surface area-to-volume ratio and mechanical flexibility, which make them attractive for use in biomedical applications. The research in this area could revolutionize the healthcare industry by developing more efficient monitoring and treatment of medical conditions, leading to better patient outcomes and quality of life. Moreover, the use of 2D materials could lead to the development of advanced and innovative biomedical technologies with broad implications for society.
This research topic focuses on exploring the potential of using 2D materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, as piezoelectric biomaterials in biomedical applications. These materials are highly attractive due to their unique properties, such as high surface area-to-volume ratio and mechanical flexibility. This research topic aims to fabricate and characterize these materials, including their piezoelectric properties, biocompatibility, and structural stability, which could pave the way for innovative biomedical technologies that address the challenges faced by the healthcare industry. One among the primary issues in developing biocompatible sensors and devices for biomedical applications relies on the limited options that can be used without causing adverse effects or rejection by the body. However, recent advances in 2D material synthesis, device fabrication, piezoelectric measurement, and bio-functionalization techniques provide hope that these challenges can be overcome. Further research is needed to optimize the properties of these materials for biomedical applications, including the accurate measurement of piezoelectric response and thorough evaluation of biocompatibility and structural stability. The development of innovative biomedical technologies using 2D materials has significant potential to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Overall, this interdisciplinary approach could lead to the creation of new biomedical devices for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and implantable devices that can address the challenges of the healthcare industry.
