Résumé

Graphene-based materials (GBMs) have unique physicochemical properties that make them extremely attractive as platforms for the design of new drugs. Indeed, their bidimensional (2D) morphology, high surface area, mechanical and optical properties, associated to different possibilities for functionalization of their surface, provides opportunities for their use as nanomedicines for drug delivery and/or phototherapies.

Mots clés
