we employed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore the interactions between GQDs and graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) with a protein model, the human intestinal fatty acid binding protein (HIFABP), that plays a crucial role in mediating the carrier of fatty acids in the intestine. ...
In contrast, top-down methods are much cheaper and more scalable techniques. Many larger scale synthesis routes involve intermediate steps of graphene oxide (GO) exfoliation and subsequent reduction to reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Yet the good results obtained in terms of yield come at the cost...
Graphite has been a known quantity for a long time (humans have been using it since the Neolithic era). Its atomic structure is well documented, and for a long time, scientists pondered whether single layers of graphite could be isolated. Until recently, however, graphene was merely a theory...

The increased application of graphene oxide (GO), a new carbon-based engineered nanomaterial, has generated a potential toxicity in humans and the environment. Previous studies have identified some dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs), such as up-regulated mi
Likewise, graphene oxide (GO) based conductive ink with deionized water, ethanol, and ethylene glycol was developed by using an ultrasonication process. The PET substrate was used to print with the developed ink via inkjet printing. The electrical conductivity of the printed film was reported to ...
Some forms of graphene can be made using a simple household blender; graphene with few or single layers (e.g., monolayer graphene) and graphene oxide are much more difficult to produce, but this is where the biggest opportunities lie. ...
This controlled exposure study demonstrated the feasibility of assessing the acute biological effects of graphene oxide in humans, laying the groundwork for further investigations and risk assessments [161]. However, further research is needed to comprehend biocompatibility and metabolic thresholds in ...
Graphene oxide (single layer graphene oxide, GO) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP; HDPlas™ GNPs Grade 4) were obtained from Cheap Tubes (Battleboro, 112 Mercury Drive, VT05301, USA; http://www.cheaptubes.com). Carbon black (CB) powder (Printex®85, Evonik-Degussa, Germany) was include...
Graphene has attracted intensive research interest in many fields, owing to its remarkable physicochemical properties. Nevertheless, its low dispersibility in most organic solvents and in water, and its tendency to aggregate, prevent full exploitation of its properties. Graphene oxide (GO) is an altern...
