ANTI-BACTERIAL
 

GRAPHENE's antibacterial properties stem from its high strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, transparency, and lightness. Its nanoscale surface structure resembles microbial cell membranes, impeding the active interactions required for nutrient absorption or production, crucial for microorganism survival. Consequently, this structure hinders microorganism growth and reproduction, ultimately exhibiting antibacterial effects.

Also, GRAPHENE has high oxidative activity. When GRAPHENE reacts with free radicals and is oxidized, it can destroy microbial cell membranes and destroy proteins, DNA, RNA, etc. inside microbial cells. In this process, GRAPHENE sterilizes microorganisms and inhibits their growth.

​

As a result, GRAPHENE's antibacterial properties make it a promising candidate for use in the medical field for infection prevention and treatment, as well as in the production of medicines and medical supplies. Furthermore, its potential applications extend to industries such as clothing, bedding, cosmetics, food packaging materials, and logistics, where ongoing research is uncovering new possibilities.

​

GRAPHENE-applied clothing inhibits the growth and propagation of microorganisms that occur inside the clothing, preventing odor and silence, thereby providing a comfortable fit. In addition, clothing applied with GRAPHENE can be effective in preventing infection, and especially in medical clothing, it can play an important role in preventing and treating infection.

​

The antibacterial and bacteriostatic activities of graphene oxide are primarily due to the direct physicochemical interaction between graphene and bacteria, leading to a lethal deterioration of cellular components such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, often referred to as the "Nano Knife Effect."
