Applications of graphene. In 2005, the Nobel prize winners A. Geim and K. Novoselov suggested the main field of application of this specific material. 

The most immediate is the application of graphene in composite materials. Conductive plastics at less than one percent of graphene filling have revealed their availability. 

The applications of graphene/conjugated polymer nanocomposites have been extensively explored due to their unique properties and the synergistic effect of graphene-based fillers and conjugated polymer nanocomposites. The graphene/conjugated polymer nanocomposites are expected to find applications in many fields, such as DSSC, transparent electrodes, pharmaceutical, biomedical, environmental field and touch screen [168-192]. 

One possible application of graphene is as a molecular sensor using molecular vibrations (vibronics) [3]. Vibronics can be used to sense or transport signals, and theoretical simulations have shown the possible use for sensors to identify single molecules with modes in the terahertz (THz) region. 

Figure 5.2 An illustration of various applications of graphene and its derivatives.

The biological and biomedical applications of graphene and its derivatives are currently of great interest and have been reviewed in de-tail. Li and Mezzenga have recently reviewed the interaction of amyloid fibrils with carbon nanomaterials such as graphene, extending the scope of biomedical applications and composite biomaterials, indeed, the supramolecular self-assembly of carbonaceous nanomaterials by biomolecules is now a possibility. ...
