In Situ Production of Biofunctionalized Few‐Layer Defect‐Free Microsheets of Graphene

Abstract: Biological interfacing of graphene has become crucial to improve its biocompatibility,\ud dispersability, and selectivity. However, biofunctionalization of\ud graphene without yielding defects in its sp 2 -carbon lattice is a major challenge.\ud Here, a process is set out for biofunctionalized defect-free graphene\ud synthesis through the liquid phase ultrasonic exfoliation of raw graphitic\ud material assisted by the self-assembling fungal hydrophobin Vmh2. This\ud protein (extracted from the edible fungus Pl… Show more

“…Direct exfoliation of graphite to graphene in water is achieved by using small organic molecules, 12 amphiphilic stabilizers such as surfactants, 13 proteins, 8,14,15 and carbohydrates. 16 The reagent used for this process (exfoliating agent) should stabilize graphene in water, but it should not be toxic to most biological systems, if the preparations are to be used for biological applications.…”

“…[ 74 ] Air plasma can be used in surface technology to process glasses, highly oxidizing a few monolayers of the surface and removing organic contaminants. Since Vmh2 in 60% ethanol solution is endowed with positive electrostatic potential (measured by electrophoretic mobility), [ 71 ] negatively charged glass surfaces obtained by air plasma treatment were appropriate to enhance the studied protein binding. Moreover, given that the adhesion energy of the protein layer is dominated by hydrophobic and Coulombic charge interactions, [ 75,76 ] the hydrophobin orientation will determine the effi ciency of immobilization of the interested molecules to the modifi ed surface.…”

“…[ 72 ] The Vmh2 monolayer acts as a bioactive substrate to bind other proteins, which show improved stability and activity when bound on the biohybrid chips. [70][71][72][73] In this work, we propose a fast, highly homogeneous, and effi cient glass functionalization method by spontaneous selfassembling of Vmh2 at liquid-solid interface. In addition, we demonstrate for the fi rst time the immobilization of nanomaterials and proteins via hydrophobins in a microarray fashion, which results to be a time-saving process.…”
