ABSTRACT

This study aims to prepare an eco-friendly dressing using balsa derived membrane with graphene included for anti-bacterial purpose. The balsa-graphene was prepared using delignification (group control) and dopamine (group A) methods for mussel-inspired adhesion of graphene, respectively, at 0.2, 1, 5ug/ml (group B,C,D). We found graphene spherical particles formed on the dressing. FTIR and contact angle test show that lysozyme adhered to the membrane.In vitro antibacterial effect was significant on both E. coli and S.aureus. The cytotoxicity of the balsa dressing was not found until day 7.
