Recently, the approaches of biosensor and bioengineering combine with various nanomaterials to find suitable material in biosicence. Especially, carbon-based nanomaterials are considered to be one of the key element in nanotechnology and biotechnology. The graphene is a single atom sheet of sp2 bonded carbon atoms in a closely packed honeycomb structure with unique physical, chemical and mechanical properties. The biological application of graphene still remains unexplored and wide-open.In this work, we use graphene sheet that surface is treated by plasma in oxygen (O2) and fluorine (C3F8) gas environment. We investigate the cell culture conditions using human nerve cell line (SH-SY5Y) which are exposed to plasma treated graphene onto polyethylene terephthalate (PET). As a result, we confirm that the difference of the characteristics of cell growth depending on the surface treatment by of hydrophilic (-O) and hydrophobic (-F). In addition, we show the reaction of the nerve cells according to the electrical stress on graphene sheet[2]. In order to evaluate the cell viability and morphology, we check the MTT assay and optical microscopy images. We support that the potential of graphene as a material for neural interfacing and provides insight into the future biomedical applications.
