Artigo IPEN-doc 26718 Antibacterial activity of silver/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite synthesized by sustainable process2019 - JACOVONE, RAYNARA M.S.; SOARES, JAQUELINE J.S.; SOUSA, THAINA S.; SILVA, FLAVIA R.O.; GARCIA, RAFAEL H.L.; NGUYEN, HANG N.; RODRIGUES, DEBORA F.; SAKATA, SOLANGE K.Traditional methods to incorporate metals into graphene oxide (GO) usually require toxic reagents or high temperatures. This study proposes an innovative and sustainable method to incorporate silver (Ag) into graphene oxide using electron beam and evaluate its antibacterial activities. The method is based on green synthesis, without toxic reagents or hazardous wastes, and can be carried out at room temperature, in short reaction times. To synthesize the Ag/rGO nanocomposite, a water/isopropanol solution with dispersed graphene oxide and silver nitrate was submitted to a dose range from 150 to 400 kGy. The product was characterized by thermogravimetry analysis, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The antibacterial activity of Ag/rGO was observed against Gram-negative Escherichia coli by plate count method and atomic force microscopy. The results showed that concentrations as low as 100 lg/mL of produced Ag/rGO were enough to inactivate the cells.Artigo IPEN-doc 26514 The effect of gamma radiation on the structure of graphene oxide and graphene oxide functionalized with amino-PEG2019 - SOARES, J.J.S.; JACOVONE, R.M.S.; SANTOS, P.S.; ZAIM, M.H.; FARIA, D.L.A.; SAKATA, S.K.Covalent functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) with polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been widely used in drug delivery systems. This nanocomposite exhibits excellent stability in the presence of high concentrations of salts and proteins and shows low toxicity compared to its raw form. However, it must be sterilized prior to use in medical devices, and for this purpose, the gamma irradiation shows a promising option. Sterilization by ionizing energy through gamma rays, generated by Cobalt-60 self-disintegration, consists in exposing the materials to short electromagnetic waves. The irradiation process provides substantial advantages when compared to thermal and chemical processes, such as, more precise control of the process, lower energy consumption, and less environmental pollution. In this work the effects of gamma radiation on GO and GO functionalized with amino-PEG (GO-PEG-NH2) irradiated with doses (15, 25, 35 and 50 kGy) at rate dose of 7.3 kGy.h-1 were evaluated. The analyses were performed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that gamma radiation up to 50 kGy did not cause any defects on the nanomaterials.Dissertação IPEN-doc 25678 Utilização do nanocompósito à base de óxido de grafeno no pericárdio bovino empregado em dispositivos cardiovasculares2019 - SOARES, JAQUELINE J.S.A doença cardíaca valvar é um problema clínico que está presente em todos os países independente do nível de desenvolvimento econômico. Anualmente são realizadas mais de 275.000 cirurgias para substituição da válvula aórtica em todo o mundo e a estimativa é que esse número triplique até 2050. Dentre as próteses utilizadas destaca-se a bioprótese, que apesar de apresentar uma rejeição menor que a prótese mecânica, a sua durabilidade é reduzida em virtude de sua calcificação e posterior deterioração. A fim de aumentar a durabilidade da prótese confeccionada a partir do pericárdio bovino, neste estudo, foi incorporado o óxido de grafeno funcionalizado com amino-polietilenoglicol 4.000 Mn (OG-PEG-NH2 4.000 Mn) e 6.000 Mn (OG-PEG-NH2 6.000 Mn) ao biomaterial. A incorporação do óxido de grafeno funcionalizado ao pericárdio bovino foi realizada, após sua esterilização com radiação gama, de duas formas distintas: por adsorção física e por reação química. Os resultados demonstraram que houve a incorporação do OG-PEG-NH2 4.000 Mn, verificado pelo aumento dos parâmetros de ensaio de resistência analisados, como por exemplo, a resistência à deformação plástica permanente e também a carga máxima suportada. Em relação ao OG-PEG-NH2 6.000 Mn houve uma melhora na biocompatibilidade do nanomaterial, diminuindo a sua citotoxicidade. Sendo assim, pode-se concluir que o OG-PEG-NH2 4.000 Mn possui o potencial para melhorar a resistência mecânica e consequentemente aumentar a durabilidade do biomaterial.Artigo IPEN-doc 24175 The effect of gamma radiation on the structure of graphene oxide and graphene oxide functionalized with amino-PEG2017 - SOARES, JAQUELINE J.S.; JACOVONE, RAYNARA M.S.; SANTOS, PAULO S.; ZAIM, MARCIO H.; FARIA, DALVA L.A. de; SAKATA, SOLANGE K.The functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) with polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been widely used in drug delivery systems. This nanocomposite exhibits excellent stability in the presence of high concentrations of salts and proteins and shows to be less toxic than its raw form in vitro and in vivo. However, it must be sterilized before use in the medical field and the gamma irradiation shows a promising option for this purpose. Sterilization by ionizing energy through gamma rays, generated by Cobalt-60 self-disintegration, consists in exposing the materials to short electromagnetic waves. The irradiation process provides substantial advantages when compared to thermal and chemical processes such as more precise control of the process, production of products with superior qualities, lower energy consumption and less environmental pollution. In this work the effect of gamma radiation on the structure of GO and GO functionalized com Amino-PEG (GO-PEG-NH2) irradiated with different doses (15, 25, 35 and 50 kGy) and rate dose 7.31 kGy.h-1 was evaluated. The analyses were performed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that the methods for the synthesis of GO and GO-PEG-NH2 was effective since there was confirmation of the surface oxidation of materials and functionalization with the PEG-NH2 and the sterilization by gamma radiation does not caused any defects on materials.
