Amro M Elshurafa, et al., "Microscale Electrostatic Fractional Capacitors using Reduced Graphene Oxide Percolated Polymer Composites" Applied Physics Letters 102, 2013, 232991. Abstract: We show that graphene-percolated polymer composites exhibit fractional capacitance response in the frequency range of 50 kHz–2 MHz. In addition, it is shown that by varying the loading of graphene within the matrix from 2.5% to 12%, the phase can be controllably tuned from −67° to −31°, respectively. The electrostatic fractional capacitors proposed herein are easy to fabricate and offer integration capability

Ahmed Rafiq , et al., "Deposition of Nanomaterials: a Crucial Step in Biosensor Fabrication". Materials Today Communications 17, 2018, 289. Biosensor development includes the deposition of (nano)materials onto a conductive electrode surface, which is a crucial step for obtaining improved performance from the constructed biosensors. Various methods have been used to create a successful matrix of (nano)materials that ensures proper contact between the material and electrode surface. The purpose of (nano)material deposition is to provide a high surface area to improve the electroanalytical
