The advantages conferred by the physical, optical and electrochemical properties of graphene-based nanomaterials have contributed to the current variety of ultrasensitive and selective biosensor devices. In this review, we present the points of view on the intrinsic properties of graphene and its surface engineering concerned with the transduction mechanisms in biosensing applications. We explain practical synthesis techniques along with prospective properties of the graphene-based materials, which include the pristine graphene and functionalized graphene (i.e., graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and graphene quantum dot (GQD). The biosensing mechanisms based on the utilization of the charge interactions with biomolecules and/or nanoparticle interactions and sensing platforms are also discussed, and the importance of surface functionalization in recent up-to-date biosensors for biological and medical applications.

Graphene's exceptional physical properties, such as high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, have attracted significant interest for its integration in transistors and thermal interface materials. While achieving various conformations of graphene is desirable for such applications, synthesizing graphene with target conformations remains a challenge. In this work, we present a method for synthesizing multilayer graphene with ridged conformations, using a microscale ridge-patterned copper (Cu) layer that was epitaxially deposited on a sapphire substrate.

Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, hexane, tetrachloroethylene, acetone, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, isopropanol, etc., increase dramatically with accelerated industrialization and economic growth. Most VOCs cause serious environmental pollution and threaten human health due to their toxic and carcinogenic nature.

Exploring ways to improve the performance of rotating bands is of great importance for enhancing the power of modern artillery. This study prepared graphene oxide-coated Nylon (GO-Nylon) and Nylon samples based on nylon rotating bands in artillery systems to investigate the feasibility of introducing GO-coated nylon rotating band materials to enhance their tribological and thermal properties. The friction behavior and thermal effects of these two surfaces were analyzed under different external loads and surface roughness conditions.
