Graphene oxide/hydroxyapatite composite coatings fabricated by electrophoretic nanotechnology for biological applications

TL;DR: The result showed that the hydrolysis of CPDS under hydrothermal condition played an important role in the formation of hierarchical hollow GO/HA hybrids, which indicated that the prepared GO-HA hybrids may be promising materials for applications in biomedical area.

TL;DR: Interfacial and filler size effects on mechanical/thermal/electrical properties of CNTs-reinforced nanocomposites are investigated. A unified theoretical prediction model is established to predict the variations in the overall properties of CNTs-reinforced nanocomposites with respect to the volume concentration of CNT fillers. The model considers the interfacial effects and the aspect ratio of CNT fillers. The model is validated against experimental measurements and numerical calculations show that the interfacial effect is a key factor affecting the mechanical/thermal/electrical properties of CNTs-reinforced nanocomposites.

TL;DR: In this article , a 10 mol% substitution of strontium substituted HAP (SrHAP) with increasing weight percentages of graphene oxide (2, 4 and 6) composites were comprehensively characterized for drug delivery in bone reconstruction and the results highlight the combinational therapy of osteogenic ion (strontium) and osteogenic drug (curcumin) as a promising platform in bone tissue engineering.

TL;DR: In this article, a review aims to outline and summarize the recent advancements in fabricating G-BFNs for advanced biological and cellular interfaces, especially diverse facile and eco-friendly strategies.

TL;DR: Examination of apatite formation on a material in SBF is useful for predicting the in vivo bone bioactivity of a material, and the number of animals used in and the duration of animal experiments can be reduced remarkably by using this method.

TL;DR: Only the alternating pattern of single-double carbon bonds within the sp2 carbon ribbons provides a satisfactory explanation for the experimentally observed blue shift of the G band of the Raman spectra relative to graphite.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize and explore the biological applications of nano-graphene oxide (NGO), i.e., single-layer graphene oxide sheets down to a few nanometers in lateral width.

TL;DR: It is found that simple physisorption via π-stacking can be used for loading doxorubicin, a widely used cancer drug onto NGO functionalized with antibody for selective killing of cancer cells in vitro.
