Graphene and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are important building blocks for the synthesis of functional nanomaterials for bio-related applications. Here, we report a facile strategy to decorate AgNPs onto reduced graphene oxide (RGO) by the simultaneous reduction of silver ions and graphene oxide nanosheets within one system, and further to fabricate a dimension-adjustable RGO/AgNP multi-layered film by a thermal-driven self-assembly process. The structures of the fabricated RGO/AgNP hybrid films were identified by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The thickness of the fabricated RGO/AgNP film was further measured by scanning electron microscopy. The hydrophilicity of the RGO/AgNP films was tested by contact angle measurement. Antibacterial and cell culture experiments based on the fabricated RGO/AgNP films indicate that this kind of hybrid film exhibits excellent antibacterial activity and high biocompatibility. A potential antibacterial mechanism of the fabricated RGO/AgNP hybrid film was proposed.

Biomaterials Science

Biomaterials Science is an international high impact journal exploring the science of biomaterials and their translation towards clinical use. Its scope encompasses new concepts in biomaterials design, studies into the interaction of biomaterials with the body, and the use of materials to answer fundamental biological questions. Papers do not necessarily need to report a new biomaterial but should provide novel insight into the biological applications of the biomaterial. Articles that primarily focus on demonstrating novel materials chemistry and bring a molecular picture to bear on a given material’s suitability as a biomaterial are more suited to our companion journal, Journal of Materials Chemistry B. Biomaterials Science publishes primary research and review-type articles in the following areas: molecular design of biomaterials, including translation of emerging chemistries to biomaterials science of cells and materials at the nanoscale and microscale materials as model systems for stem cell and human biology materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (Nano)materials and (nano)systems for therapeutic delivery interactions at the biointerface biologically inspired and biomimetic materials, including bio-inspired self-assembly systems and cell-inspired synthetic tools next-generation biomaterials tools and methods
