Cotton Fabric Immobilized AuNP@Graphene and ZnO@rGO for Heterogeneous Catalysis and Photocatalysis

Baruah B., Baruah S., West B., Baruah B., Baruah S., Kennesaw State University, US

The present study demonstrates liquid-phase exfoliation of graphene from pristine graphite in presence of surfactant and synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via graphene oxide method. Pretreated cotton fabrics are primed with binder molecules before [...]

Graphene Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide and Their Water Purification Properties

Baruah B., Baruah S., Kohler G., Baruah B., Baruah S., Kennesaw State University, US

In this study, we synthesized graphene oxide (GO) from graphite with slight modification of literature method. We have deposited purified GO on pure sand to generate GO@sand composite. The GO@sand composite was further reduced chemically [...]

Cellulose Fiber Immobilized Silver Nanoparticles and Their Applications in Catalysis, SERS and Antimicrobial Activity

Baruah B., Kennesaw State University, US

This work involves in-situ preparation of silver nanoparticles on nonwoven fibers in baby wipes (a mixture of synthetic fiber and cellulose fiber) by impregnating Ag+ ions. The Ag+ ions in the micronanopores of the fibers [...]
