Fabrication And Characterization Of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles AS Platform For Drug Delivery
Graphene oxide [GO] nanoparticles have rapidly grown a new type of nanomaterial for drug delivery. A novel approach tofabricate graphene oxide nanoparticles has been reported. The graphene oxide synthesized by oxidation of graphite inH2SO4: H3PO4 [9:1] with continuous stirring for 12hr. Graphene oxide contribute as biomaterial for biomedical applicationdue to its structural features as two dimensional, planar structures with high surface area, good biocompatibility and it alsoacts as filler. The synthesized GO characterized by using SEM, DSC, FT-IR, Malvern Zetasizer, and UV-spectroscopy. Dueto its multifunctional properties GO acts as nanocarrier and most preferably used as novel nanomaterial for anticancertherapy with high drug loading capacity and for the design of advanced drug delivery system and delivery of a broad rangeof therapeutics
