A novel PVDF-graphene composite membrane has been developed. Specifically, a commercial PVDF polymer has been suitably functionalized with the aromatic rings of styrene (PVDF-f) and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. This new material has been used as a base...
Objective. To evaluate the surface and wettability characteristics and the microbial biofilminteraction of graphene coating on titanium.Methods. Graphene was deposited on titanium (Control) via a liquid-free technique. Thetransfer was performed once (TiGS), repeated...
The time needed for the osseointegration of titanium implants is deemed too long. Moreover, the bacterial colonization of their surfaces is a major cause of failure. Graphene can overcome these issues but its wet transfer onto substrates employs hazardous chemicals...
In recent years graphene has drawn considerable research interests for biomedical applications. However, applications of graphene in biological systems also raise concern about its possible toxicity. Here, by using live cell imaging techniques we investigate the...
Carbon-based nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, fullerenes and nanodiamonds are potential candidates for various applications in medicine such as drug delivery and imaging. However, the successful translation of nanomaterials for biomedical...
