Synthesis of graphene oxide - based silver cotton fabric application for antibacterial activity

Abstract

In this study, silver/graphene oxide nanocomposites (Ag/GO) was synthesized via in situ method for antibaclerial application. Silver/graphene oxide cotton fabric(Ag/GO/cotton fabric) was then synthesized via the dip - coating method. The characteristics of GO. Ag/GO, and Ag/GO/cotton fabric were investigated with Fourier transiform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and energy - dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results showed that the distribution of silver particles with an average size of 17.41 ±4.55 nm was uniformed on the GO sheets.
