Abstract:
GO with -OH, -CHO, -CO, -COOH, and epoxide groups is considered more suitable than other commonly used materials for biomedical applications. The presence of -CO, -CHO, and -OH groups renders the easy functionalization of GO by biomolecules and drugs. Therefore, in this study, we designed a multifunctional GO-Fe3O4 nanocomposite and investigated its bactericidal activity against different bacterial strains with an evaluation of percentage inhibition. Our results revealed the potential of GO-Fe3O4 nanocomposites as an effective bactericidal, which can be used for dynamic applications in medical devices and food and other industries.
