Antibacterial paper made from graphene
Silver and silver nanoparticles have been well know to be antibacterial, they and other nanomaterials are often cytotoxic (Nanowerk, July 5, 2010) by Dr.
Chunhai Fan, Professor in
Laboratory of Physical Biology at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics. They have found that graphene derivatives – graphene oxide, graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide – can effectively inhibit bacterial growth.
For their experiments, the researchers prepared single-layer graphene oxide nanosheets with a thickness of just over 1 nanometer. They also synthesized reduced graphene oxide sheets. They found that both normal and reduced graphene oxide nanosheets could be easily made into macroscopic, freestanding, robust, and flexible paper with a thickness between 1.5 and 4.6 µm via a one-step vacuum filtration protocol. By evaluating the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of graphene oxide nanosheets with a mammalian cell line the researchers were able to establish that the nanosheets were relatively biocompatible nanomaterials with mild cytotoxicity. In a next step, they explored the antibacterial activity of graphene oxide nanosheets by measuring the metabolic activity of E. coli cells in the presence of graphene oxide nanosheets.
