What is graphene oxide?

The Uses of graphene oxide

Graphene oxide (GO) can be conjugated with a polymer to form hybrid materials for the sensing of calmodulin. It can also be used in the formation of osmosis membranes for potential usage in fouling applications.

The Uses of graphene oxide

Graphene oxide have been extensively explored as some of the most promising biomaterials for biomedical applications due to their unique properties: two-dimensional planar structure, large surface area, chemical and mechanical stability, superb conductivity and good biocompatibility. These properties result in promising applications for the design of advanced drug delivery systems and delivery of a broad range of therapeutics.
