Author:Fasiku, F; Owonubi, S; Mukwevho, E; Aderibigbe, B; Sadiku, E; Lemmer, YolandyDate:Jun 2019Over the years, many different materials, e.g., titanium (Ti) and its alloys, have been used in biomedicine for several purposes. A common application of such materials is seen in their usage as implants. However, quite a number of graphene-based ...Read more
Author:Chauke, VP; Maity, Arjun; Chetty, ADate:Jul 2015Graphene oxide (GO) was functionalized with alpha cyclodextrin (aCD) through a covalent bond to form GO-aCD nanocomposites (NC). GO-aCD NC was further modified with polypyrrole (PPY) to afford an advanced GO-aCD-PPY NC for the removal of ...Read more
Author:Botlhoko, Orebotse J; Ramontja, J; Ray, Suprakas SDate:Mar 2018Graphene nanosheets with relatively high surface areas and few layers were prepared by the thermal shocking of graphene oxide at 700 °C for the development of biodegradable polylactide/poly(e-caprolactone) (PLA/PCL) blend composites via a ...Read more
Author:Aderibigbe, BA; Owonubi, SJ; Jayaramudu, J; Sadiku, ER; Ray, SSDate:Oct 2015Hydrogel biocomposites containing a combination of partially and thermally reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and natural polymer were prepared by free radical polymerization. The effect of rGO and the natural polymer on the morphology of the ...Read more
