Polyurethane (PU) nanofibers containing graphene oxide (GO) and Ag doped functionalized reduced graphene oxide (Ag-RGO) were successfully prepared via the electrospinning technique. The uniform distribution of GO sheets along with Ag nanoparticle in the nanofibers was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and the elemental mapping technique. X-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis verified the presence of GO and Ag in the bicomposite nanofibrous mats. Antibacterial tests against Escherichia coli demonstrated that the addition of GO and Ag-RGO to the PU nanofiber greatly enhanced bactericidal efficiency. Overall, these features of the synthesized nanofibers make them a promising candidate material in the biomedical field for applications such as tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery systems.

A one-step high-temperature solvothermal approach to the synthesis of monolayer or bilayer $MoS_2$ anchored onto reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheet (denoted as $MoS_2/RGO$) is described. It was found that single-layered or double-layered $MoS_2$ were synthesized directly without an extra exfoliation step and well dispersed on the surface of crumpled RGO sheets with random orientation. The prepared $MoS_2/RGO$ composites delivered a high reversible capacity of $900mAhg^{-1}$ after 200 cycles at a current density of $200mAg^{-1}$ as well as good rate capability as anode active material for lithium ion batteries. This one-step high-temperature hydrothermal strategy provides a simple, cost-effective and eco-friendly way to the fabrication of exfoliated $MoS_2$ layers deposited onto RGO sheets.

The silver nanoparticles/polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (Ag/PANI/RGO/GCE) was prepared by the electrochemical method. The Ag/PANI/RGO nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ESI). Two electrochemical techniques namely differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used to the electrochemical behaviors investigation of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA). The Ag/PANI/RGO/GCE exhibited remarkable electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation reaction of AA, DA, and UA in Britton-Robinson (BR) solution (pH=4.0). Under the optimal conditions, the determinations of AA, DA, and UA were accomplished using DPV. AA-DA and DA-UA peak potential separations were 130 and 180 mV, respectively. For simultaneous detection, the linear response ranges were in the two concentration ranges of 0.05-0.8 mM and 2.0-16.0 mM with detection limit 0.412 μM (S/N = 3) for AA, 0.7-90.0 μM and 90.0-1000.0 μM with detection limit 0.023 μM (S/N = 3) for DA, and 0.8-70.0 μM and 70.0-1000.0 μM with detection limit 0.050 μM (S/N = 3) for UA. This modified electrode showed good sensitivity, selectivity, and stability with applied to determine AA, DA, and UA in human urine and drug.

We have successfully decorated reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by microwaving silver alkylcarbamate for 13 seconds using 1-amino-4-methylpiperazine. Uniform AgNPs (20-40 nm) were effectively prepared, and 1-amino-4-methylpiperazine acted as a reaction medium, reducing agent, and stabilizer. Particle size and morphology were correlated with the silver alkylcarbamate concentration and microwave time. The graphene/AgNPs composites were characterized by Raman, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy to confirm that the AgNPs were uniformly decorated onto the graphene. Measurements of the transparent conductive property at room temperature indicated that these graphene/AgNPs nanosheets with 55.45% transmittance were electrically continuous with a sheet resistance of approximately $43{\Omega}/{\Box}$.

광열 치료(photothermal therapy)란 빛을 조사하여 열을 발생시킴으로써 정상세포보다 열에 약한 비정상 세포, 특히 암세포를 선택적으로 괴사시키는 치료법이다. 본 연구에서는 광열 치료를 위한 카르복실화된 환원 그래핀옥사이드(reduced graphene oxide with carboxyl groups, CRGO)-골드나노막대(gold nanorod, AuNR) 나노복합체를 합성하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 그래핀옥사이드(graphene oxide, GO)를 고온에서 선택적으로 환원, 박리하여 CRGO를 합성하였고, AgNO₃의 양에 따라 AuNR의 길이를 조절하여 880 nm에서 강한 흡광 특성을 나타내는 AuNR를 합성하여 광열 인자로 사용하였다. 일반적인 방법으로 환원된 RGO에 비해 CRGO에 상대적으로 많은 카르복실기가 결합되어 있음을 FT-IR, 열 중량 분석 및 형광 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 또한, RGO에 비해 많은 carboxyl group이 결합된 CRGO는 수용액상에서 우수한 안정성을 나타내었다. 정전기적 상호작용을 통해 합성된 CRGO-AuNR 나노복합체는 약 317 nm의 균일한 크기와 좁은 크기 분포를 보였다. CRGO-AuNR 나노복합체는 두 가지 광열 인자인 CRGO와 AuNR의 synergistic effect로 인하여 조직 투과도가 우수한 근적외선 880 nm 레이저의 조사에 의한 광열 효과가 AuNR보다 2배 이상 향상 되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 광열 효과에 의한 암세포 독성 분석 결과, CRGO-AuNR 나노복합체가 가장 우수한 세포 독성 특성을 나타내었다. 따라서 CRGO-AuNR 나노복합체는 안정된 분산성과 향상된 광열 효과를 기반으로 항암 광열 요법 분야에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
