-To develop graphine oxide based devices for the biomedical applications for improving health care.
-To produce antimicrobial cotton fabric
antimicrobial properties in to the cotton fabric can be developed by introducing antimicrobial material into the the cotton fabric through facile surface modification process .The use of commercial antimicrobial agents for the modification of textiles has been limited due to their toxcity, need of complex post treatment processes, environmental pollution and multidrug-resistance property of bacteria. In order to overcome this Nano particles are increasingly used for bio medical applications due to their ability to sense and detect pathogens.
graphine oxide is prefered because of the chemical structure and properties of graphine oxide such as intrinsic luminescence, hydrophilicity, tunable band gap, biocompatibility and photocataytic activities makes it suitable for biological and bio medical applications.
graphine oxide nano particle treated cotton fabric are not limited to antimicrobial properties but also significantly improves thermal stability of the cotton fabric and developing photo catalytic properties.
