The fabrication technique of ultrathin film (commonly known as nanosheets) has been significantly developed over the years. Due to the mechanical properties of nanosheets, such as high levels of adhesion and flexibility, this made nanosheets the ideal candidate in biomedical applications. In this review, innovative biomedical applications of nanosheets are discussed, which include, drug deliver...

Although there is a long history of the study of the interaction of DNA with carbon surfaces, limited information exists regarding the interaction of complex DNA-based nanostructures with the important material graphite, which is closely related to graphene. In view of the capacity of DNA to direct the assembly of proteins and optical and electronic nanoparticles, the potential for combining DN...

Thermal insulation materials extend the shelf life of food and reduce energy consumption. Polyurethane (PU) are often used to keep hot cold. Improving thermal properties PU can significantly contribute savings lower food-related costs in pharmaceutical industries. Polyurethane/expanded graphite (PU/EG) composites were obtained by hot-pressing adding expanded (EG) foams. Composites with 0.05%, 5...

Background. New antiviral textiles for the protection and prevention of life-threatening viral diseases are needed. Graphene oxide derivatives versatile substances that can be combined with fabrics by different green electrochemistry methods. Methods In this study, graphene (GO) nanosheets were textile samples to study GO potential. synthesized in Chemistry laboratories at University Rome Tor V...

Here we demonstrate through experiment and simulation the polymer-assisted dispersion of inorganic 2D layered nanomaterials such as boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs), molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (MoS2), and tungsten disulfide nanosheets (WS2), and we show that spray drying can be used to alter such nanosheets into a crumpled morphology. Our data indicate that polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) can a...
