In this work, we used tunicate-derived cellulose nanocrystals （TCNC） instead of traditional elastomers as the matrix for polydopamine （PDA）-coated and reduced graphene oxide （GO） to prepare conductive paper, which, at a low concentration, were better for the formation of conductive networks from conductive sheets. It was found that the Young’s modulus of the conductive paper produced via this strategy reached as high as 7 GPa. Meanwhile, owing to the partial reduction of GO during the polymerization of dopamine, the conductivity of the conductive paper reached as high as 1.3×10-5 S/cm when the PDA-coated GO content was 1 wt%, which was much higher than the conductivity of pure GO （-4.60×10-8 S/cm）. This work provides a new strategy for preparing environmentally friendly conductive papers with good mechanical properties and low conductive fller content, which may be used to produce high-performance, low-cost electronic devices.展开更多

GO is considered as a promising material for biological applications owing to its excellent surface functionalizability, high specific suface area and good biocompatibility. In this study, GO/chitosan hybrid scaffolds were prepared for tissue engineering. Nano silver was loaded into the scaffold to improve its antibacterial ability and biomimetic Ca-P coatings were deposited on the scaffold surface to enhance its osteoconductivity. First, GO was prepared by the chemical oxidization of graphite. Secondly, nano-Ag loaded GO was prepared by chemical reducing Ag ions in GO solutions. Then, nano-Ag loaded GO solution was mixed with CS solution to form GO-CS gel. Chitosan (CS) and GO were crosslinked by electrostatic interactions between oxygen-containing functional groups of GO and NH2 groups of CS. The gel were freeze dried to produce nano-Ag loaded GO/CS hybrid porous scaffolds. Finally, the as-prepared scaffolds were immersed the into a supersaturated calcium phosphate solution (SCPS) for 7 days to deposite CaP coatings on the surface of the micropores. SEM images showed that nano-Ag uniformly distributed in the scaffold and the CaP covered most of the scaffold surfaces. In vitro cell culture and antimicrobial test indicated the biomimetic mineralized Ag-CS-GO scaffolds have good osteoconductivity and bactericidal ability.展开更多
