Radiation-assisted reduction of graphene oxide by aloe vera and ginger and their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles against male mice liver injury induced by gamma radiation

Abstract

A novel approach for graphene oxide reduction using γ-rays in the presence of natural antioxidants is revealed for biomedical applications.

Carbon Nanomaterials Based Supercapacitors: Recent Trends

“…Due to its low mass density, extremely large surface area, great conductivity, and high flexibility, graphene has widespread use in various sectors, including energy storage and conversion, electronic devices, sensors, polymer additives, and biological applications [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Different graphene synthesis approaches are reported as mechanical filiation, epitaxial growth, chemical vapor deposition, and reduction of graphene oxide [9].…”

Structural, mechanical, and thermal features of PVA/starch/graphene oxide nanocomposite enriched with WO3 as gamma–ray radiation shielding materials for medical applications

“…GO is employed to prepare reduced GO and enhance the physical properties of polymeric composites. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The thermal and mechanical characteristics of a PVA/starch matrix have been improved using GO because its chemical structure with OH and COOH groups can regulate the film's shape and aggregation by a chemical combination. 13,27 Actacid orange RL (AO-RL) dye was removed using different polymeric-GO nanocomposites, such as GO/polypyrrole, GO/polyaniline, and GO/polystyrene.…”

“…Graphene oxide (GO) is one of the graphene derivatives, a two‐dimensional (2D) carbonaceous flake containing various active functional groups, such as carboxyl and hydroxyl. GO is employed to prepare reduced GO and enhance the physical properties of polymeric composites 19–26 . The thermal and mechanical characteristics of a PVA/starch matrix have been improved using GO because its chemical structure with OH and COOH groups can regulate the film's shape and aggregation by a chemical combination 13,27 .…”

Features of structure and optical properties GO and a GO/PVA composite subjected to gamma irradiation

“…11 Furthermore, scientic data show that gamma radiation reduces GO. 12 Furthermore, investigations show that when exposed to varying amounts of radiation, GO endures breakdown and oxidation of the remaining graphite from the manufacturing process. 13 In the present work, GO was synthesized by a modied Hummers' method.…”
