Synthesis, Characterisation and Applications of Nanocomposites Based on Silver Nanoparticles and Graphen Oxide

Resumo

A nanocomposite material based on silver nanoparticles and graphene oxide was studied in terms of its optical, electrical, and structural properties. According to the electron and atomic force microscopy data, the size of obtained nanoparticles varies mostly from 60 nm to 100 nm. The transmittance and electrical resistance of this material testify higher optical transparency and electrical conductivity than in pristine graphene oxide. The obtained nanocomposite was used to study the viral etiological factor of some types of nephropathy. Nanoobjects with the size comparable to that of viruses were discovered on the surface of the erythrocytes.
