Abstract
Green Synthesis Of Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles, Its Characterization and Antimicrobial Properties against Common Oral Pathogens
Highlights
Graphene is a carbon based flat monolayer arranged in a two dimensional hexagonal structure
The plant extract of Andrographis paniculata and Ocimum sanctum Linn were used as reducing agent
UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, XRD, TEM analysis were used for characterization of the resulting nanoparticles
Summary
Graphene is a carbon based flat monolayer arranged in a two dimensional hexagonal structure. The graphene family nanomaterials has several graphene derivatives, such as Few-Layered Graphene (FLG), ultrathin graphite, Graphene Oxide (GO), reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) and graphene nanosheets [2]. It has a remarkable antibacterial ability against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as studied by various researchers [3, 4]. Owing to the exciting properties of nanoparticles, they have been used in biomedical field for various applications They are small in size, large surface area and ability to interact with cells which helps in promoting their adhesion, migration, proliferation and differentiation [5]
