Abstract

This paper investigates two areas that Graphene has shown potential in electronics; applications in existing electronics technology and applications in theoretical future biotechnology. The paper utilises research from scientific papers, reports, and journal articles supplemented by industry expert testimonies and a consumer survey. The paper then goes on to discuss how Graphene may enable the production of bio-inert Solution Gated Field Effects Transistors that could enable bidirectional interfacing between electronics and biological tissue, allowing neural interfaces that could allow products such as myoelectric prosthesis to be controlled naturally and provide natural sense feedback to the user. Finally, the paper looks at two current production methods; Micromechanical Cleavage and Chemical Vapour Deposition.
