Anchoring Fe3O4 nanoparticles in a reduced graphene oxide aerogel matrix via polydopamine coating.

ABSTRACT: Reduced graphene oxide-magnetite hybrid aerogels attract great interest thanks to their potential applications, e.g., as magnetic actuators. However, the tendency of magnetite particles to migrate within the matrix and, ultimately, escape from the aerogel structure, remains a technological challenge. In this article we show that coating magnetite particles with polydopamine anchors them on graphene oxide defects, immobilizing the particles in the matrix and, at the same time, improving the aerogel structure. Polydopamine coating does not affect the magnetic properties of magnetite particles, making the fabricated materials promising for industrial applications.

PEGylated reduced-graphene oxide hybridized with Fe3O4 nanoparticles for cancer photothermal-immunotherapy.

Project description:Photoimmunotherapy has attracted much attention recently for the treatment of metastatic tumors. The development of smart nanocomposites for imaging-guided therapies is needed to improve the efficacy of cancer treatment. Herein, a PEGylated nanocomposite was developed for photothermal-immunotherapy. In particular, this nanocomposite was formulated by hybridizing Fe3O4 nanoparticles (FNPs) with reduced-graphene oxide (rGO) through electrostatic interaction, modified by PEG-NH2 on the surface of FNPs/rGO. The FNPs/rGO-PEG nanocomposites are excellent agents for photothermal therapy (PTT) under irradiation by an 805 nm laser. This nanocomposite could promote the activity of the host antitumor immune response efficiently because of the reduction of tumor-associated macrophages by the incorporation of FNPs. In our experiments, we observed FNPs/rGO-PEG based PTT induced immunogenic cell death accompanied by the release of danger-associated molecular patterns. We also found that FNPs/rGO-PEG + laser irradiation of animal tumors could activate dendritic cells (DCs) in tumor draining lymph nodes. In vivo antitumor studies revealed that FNPs/rGO-PEG nanocomposites, when combined with laser irradiation, could result in desirable photothermal effects and destroy primary tumors. Moreover, intratumoral injection of FNPs/rGO-PEG nanocomposites into 4T1 orthotopic mouse breast tumors, in combination with near-infrared laser irradiation, significantly increased the median survival time of tumor-bearing animals. FNPs/rGO-PEG nanocomposites could also be used for magnetic resonance imaging, which may lead to a MRI-guided photothermal-immunotherapy for metastatic cancers. This study could lead to a cancer treatment strategy that combines PTT with immunotherapies using FNPs/rGO-PEG nanocomposites.

Ultrasensitive microfluidic analysis of circulating exosomes using a nanostructured graphene oxide/polydopamine coating.

Project description:Exosomes are cell-derived nano-sized vesicles that have been recently recognized as new mediators for many cellular processes and potential biomarkers for non-invasive disease diagnosis and the monitoring of treatment response. To better elucidate the biology and clinical value of exosomes, there is a pressing need for new analytical technologies capable of the efficient isolation and sensitive analysis of such small and molecularly diverse vesicles. Herein, we developed a microfluidic exosome analysis platform based on a new graphene oxide/polydopamine (GO/PDA) nano-interface. To the best of our best knowledge, we report for the first time, the GO-induced formation of a 3D nanoporous PDA surface coating enabled by the microfluidic layer-by-layer deposition of GO and PDA. It was demonstrated that this nanostructured GO/PDA interface greatly improves the efficiency of exosome immuno-capture, while at the same time effectively suppressing non-specific exosome adsorption. Based on this nano-interface, an ultrasensitive exosome ELISA assay was developed to afford a very low detection limit of 50 ?L(-1) with a 4?log dynamic range, which is substantially better than the existing methods. As a proof of concept for clinical applications, we adapted this platform to discriminate ovarian cancer patients from healthy controls by the quantitative detection of exosomes directly from 2 ?L plasma without sample processing. Thus, this platform could provide a useful tool to facilitate basic and clinical investigations of exosomes for non-invasive disease diagnosis and to aid precision treatment.

Electrochemical interface based on polydopamine and gold nanoparticles/reduced graphene oxide for impedimetric detection of lung cancer cells.

Project description:The use of non-invasive approaches for monitoring therapy processes in cancer patients at late stages is truly needed. In this work, we aim to develop an electrochemical interface based on polydopamine combined with gold nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide for impedimetric detection of lung cancer cells. Gold nanoparticles (around 75 nm) were dispersed onto reduced graphene oxide material pre-electrodeposited onto disposable fluorine doped tin oxide electrodes. The coordination between gold and carbonaceous material has somehow improved the mechanical stability of this electrochemical interface. Polydopamine was later introduced onto modified electrodes via self-polymerization of dopamine in an alkaline solution. The result has demonstrated the good adhesion and biocompatibility of polydopamine towards A-549 lung cancer cells. The presence of the two conductive materials (gold nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide) has led to a six-times decrease in charge transfer resistance of polydopamine film. Finally, the as-prepared electrochemical interface was employed for impedimetric detection of A-549 cells. The detection limit was estimated to be only 2 cells per mL. These findings have proved the possibilities to use advanced electrochemical interfaces for point-of-care applications.

Ultra-Light Reduced Graphene Oxide Based Aerogel/Foam Absorber of Microwave Radiation.

Project description:We present the polarization-dependent highly absorptive in Ka-band composition of conventional polyurethane foam filled with in situ synthesized aerogel coated by reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The rGO-based aerogel was in situ prepared into the open-cell polyurethane foam (PUF) skeleton through a bidirectional freeze-drying process. The aerogel is composed of the flat lamellas stacks, possessing the anisotropic structure and unique electromagnetic properties. Further improvement of the electromagnetic shielding ability was possible by the rGO coating introduction as a coupling layer between PUF and rGO-based aerogel. This enhances the overall conductivity of the resulting composites: 1.41 + 3.33i S/m vs. 0.9 + 2.45i S/m for PUF loaded with in situ synthesized aerogel without rGO coating.With this mechanically robust plane easy to process coating one could achieve -20 dB by power with the record light structure (0.0462 g/cm²). That could compete in view of the weight per cm² even with graphene-based absorbers comprising either dielectric matching elements or back metal reflectors, or both.

Water Lubrication of Stainless Steel using Reduced Graphene Oxide Coating.

Project description:Lubrication of mechanical systems using water instead of conventional oil lubricants is extremely attractive from the view of resource conservation and environmental protection. However, insufficient film thickness of water due to low viscosity and chemical reaction of water with metallic materials have been a great obstacle in utilization of water as an effective lubricant. Herein, the friction between a 440?C stainless steel (SS) ball and a 440?C stainless steel (SS) plate in water lubrication could be reduced by as much as 6-times by coating the ball with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The friction coefficient with rGO coated ball in water lubrication was comparable to the value obtained with the uncoated ball in oil lubrication. Moreover, the wear rate of the SS plate slid against the rGO coated ball in water lubrication was 3-times lower than that of the SS plate slid against the uncoated ball in oil lubrication. These results clearly demonstrated that water can be effectively utilized as a lubricant instead of oil to lower the friction and wear of SS components by coating one side with rGO. Implementation of this technology in mechanical systems is expected to aid in significant reduction of environmental pollution caused by the extensive use of oil lubricants.

Enhanced osseointegration of dental implants with reduced graphene oxide coating.

Project description:BackgroundThe implants of pure titanium (Ti) and its alloys can lead to implant failure because of their poor interaction with bone-associated cells during bone regeneration. Surface modification over implants has achieved successful implants for enhanced osseointegration. Herein, we report a robust strategy to implement bioactive surface modification for implant interface enabled by the combinatorial system of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-coated sandblasted, large-grit, and acid-etched (SLA) Ti to impart benefits to the implant.MethodsWe prepared SLA Ti (ST) implants with different surface modifications [i.e., rGO and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2)] and investigated their dental tissue regenerating ability in animal models. We performed comparative studies in surface property, in vitro cellular behaviors, and in vivo osseointegration activity among different groups, including ST (control), rhBMP-2-immobilized ST (BI-ST), rhBMP-2-treated ST (BT-ST), and rGO-coated ST (R-ST).ResultsSpectroscopic, diffractometric, and microscopic analyses confirmed that rGO was coated well around the surfaces of Ti discs (for cell study) and implant fixtures (for animal study). Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that the R-ST group showed significantly better effects in cell attachment and proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, matrix mineralization, expression of osteogenesis-related genes and protein, and osseointegration than the control (ST), BI-ST, and BT-ST groups.ConclusionHence, we suggest that the rGO-coated Ti can be a promising candidate for the application to dental or even orthopedic implants due to its ability to accelerate the healing rate with the high potential of osseointegration.

Super-compressible and mechanically stable reduced graphene oxide aerogel for wearable functional devices

Project description:ABSTRACT The graphene-based aerogels with good electrical conductivity and compressibility have been reported. However, it is challenging to fabricate the graphene aerogel to have excellent mechanical stability for its application in wearable devices. Thus, inspired by macroscale arch-shaped elastic structures and the importance of crosslinking in microstructural stability, we synthesized the mechanically stable reduced graphene oxide aerogels with small elastic modulus by optimizing the reducing agent to make the aligned wrinkled microstructure in which physical crosslinking is dominant. We used L-ascorbic acid, urea, and hydrazine hydrate as reducing agents to synthesize the graphene aerogels rGO-LAA, rGO-Urea, and rGO-HH, respectively. Hydrazine hydrate was found to be best in enhancing the physical and ionic interaction among graphene nanoflakes to achieve a wavy structure with excellent fatigue resistance. Notably, the optimized rGO-HH aerogel maintained structural stability even after 1000 cycles of compression of 50% strain and decompression, showing 98.7% stress retention and 98.1% height retention. We also studied the piezoresistive properties of the rGO-HH aerogel and showed that the rGO-HH-based pressure sensor exhibited excellent sensitivity (~5.7 kPa−1) with good repeatability. Hence, a super-compressible and mechanically stable piezoresistive material for wearable functional devices was demonstrated by controlling the microstructure and surface chemistry of the reduced graphene oxide aerogel.

Construct α-FeOOH-Reduced Graphene Oxide Aerogel as a Carrier for Glucose Oxidase Electrode.

Project description:A promising α-FeOOH-reduced graphene oxide aerogel (FeOOH-GA) has been prepared for the assembly of an enzyme electrode. The α-FeOOH-reduced graphene oxide aerogel was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results reveal that graphene oxide is reduced by Fe2+ ion and α-FeOOH nanorods anchored on the reduced graphene oxide sheet through the Fe-O-C bond. Analyses using scanning electron microscopy and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method show that FeOOH-GA displays a various and interconnected pore structure. The FeOOH-GA was used as a support material on the glass carbon electrode (GCE) for glucose oxidase (GOD). Electrochemistry properties and bioelectrocatalytic activities of Nafion/GOD/FeOOH-GA/GCE were achieved from cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that Nafion/GOD/FeOOH-GA/GCE maintains outstanding catalytic activity and electrochemical properties. The FeOOH-GA could immobilize GOD through the hydrophobicity of the reduced graphene oxide and hydroxide radical of α-FeOOH. Appropriate α-FeOOH and diversified pore structure are beneficial for electron transfer, enzyme electrode storage, and interfacial electron transfer rate. All results indicated that the α-FeOOH-reduced graphene oxide aerogel as a carrier could effectively immobilize the tested enzyme.

Reduced Graphene Oxide Aerogel inside Melamine Sponge as an Electrocatalyst for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:A graphene oxide aerogel (GOA) was formed inside a melamine sponge (MS) framework. After reduction with hydrazine at 60 °C, the electrical conductive nitrogen-enriched rGOA-MS composite material with a specific density of 20.1 mg/cm3 was used to fabricate an electrode, which proved to be a promising electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction. The rGOA-MS composite material was characterized by elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that nitrogen in the material is presented by different types with the maximum concentration of pyrrole-like nitrogen. By using Raman scattering it was established that the rGOA component of the material is graphene-like carbon with an average size of the sp2-domains of 5.7 nm. This explains a quite high conductivity of the composite obtained.

Charge storage mechanisms of manganese oxide nanosheets and N-doped reduced graphene oxide aerogel for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors.

Project description:Although manganese oxide- and graphene-based supercapacitors have been widely studied, their charge storage mechanisms are not yet fully investigated. In this work, we have studied the charge storage mechanisms of K-birnassite MnO2 nanosheets and N-doped reduced graphene oxide aerogel (N-rGOae) using an in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and an electrochemical quart crystal microbalance (EQCM). The oxidation number of Mn at the MnO2 electrode is +3.01 at 0?V vs. SCE for the charging process and gets oxidized to +3.12 at +0.8?V vs. SCE and then reduced back to +3.01 at 0?V vs. SCE for the discharging process. The mass change of solvated ions, inserted to the layers of MnO2 during the charging process is 7.4??g?cm-2. Whilst, the mass change of the solvated ions at the N-rGOae electrode is 8.4??g?cm-2. An asymmetric supercapacitor of MnO2//N-rGOae (CR2016) provides a maximum specific capacitance of ca. 467?F?g-1 at 1?A?g-1, a maximum specific power of 39?kW?kg-1 and a specific energy of 40?Wh?kg-1 with a wide working potential of 1.6?V and 93.2% capacity retention after 7,500 cycles. The MnO2//N-rGOae supercapacitor may be practically used in high power and energy applications.
