Polymer Nanocomposites of 2D Nanomaterials for Biosensing and Imaging Applications

The field of biology and biomedical applications has shown increased interest in two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials like black phosphorus and graphene. Nanoparticles are minute particles that find utility in biomedical contexts due to their numerous benefits over larger counterparts, including heightened surface-to-volume ratio and enhanced magnetic features. Nanoparticles and other nanomaterials exhibit a broad spectrum of biomedical applications attributed to their various characteristics, including mechanical, optical, thermal, magnetic, and electrical characteristics. Nanobiosensors have emerged as potent tools in the detection of numerous diseases due to their capacity to deliver sensitive and high-resolution outputs. This perspective underscores the capability of nanobiosensors to enhance diagnostic precision and offer valuable insights into the progression of diseases. The technology based on nanoparticles presents an alternative to traditional diagnostic techniques, with the potential to result in earlier and more precise detection. The integration of microelectronic technology has opened avenues for the development of compact and innovative biochips, facilitating sensing at the molecular level. The landscape of healthcare is transforming the progress in disease detection achieved by merging nanobiosensors with novel innovative technologies. Emerging advancements in wearable electrochemical and optical biosensors can enhance comprehension of biomarker correlations and facilitate prompt medical intervention. A hybrid approach involving the combination of 2D nanomaterials with biomaterials can be utilized to enhance biocompatibility and produce favorable host reactions. Recent progress in biosensor applications is notable in areas like tissue engineering, cellular therapy, drug delivery systems, and biosensing.
