Graphene hydrogel or nano gel is a water-based three dimensional (3D) graphene hybrid that readily absorbs water and swells to large volumes. Graphene hydrogel nanoparticles are outstanding drug delivery systems, owing to their unique properties that combine the characteristics of high water content with a very small (nano)
size. They combine well with drugs, and most importantly carry lipid nanoparticles in even distribution, while enhancing the action of LNP targeting ligands.

Graphene hydrogel is also designed for high performance electromagnetic wave attenuation. The porous three-dimensional (3D) structure offers high electrical conductivity when in consort with two-dimensional graphene hydroxide and graphene oxide (also pictured in pages below), which improves microwave (cellular telephone) absorption performance – thus enhancing / amplifying cellular telephone signal identification and control.

From the manufacturer, graphene hydrogel properties include…

1. Self-assembling hydrogel nanoparticles designed for biomedical applications, particularly drug delivery. The particle size and surface properties can be easily manipulated by various means, allowing both passive and active drug targeting.
2. Controlled and sustained drug release at the target site, improving efficacy. Drug loading (concentration of drugs in the gel) is relatively high and may be achieved without chemical reactions, an important factor in preservation of the intended drug activity.
3. The ability to reach the smallest capillary vessels, due to their tiny volume, and to penetrate the tissues either through the para-cellular or the trans-cellular pathways – passes blood-brain, blood-placenta barriers.
4. Administration through various routes, including oral, pulmonary, nasal, parenteral, intra-ocular, skin, etc.
