Abstract Organosilane-functionalized and chemically activated graphene-supported Schiff base ligand were synthesized and characterized with XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, UV.-Vis., FT-IR and TG/DTA techniques. In the synthesis process, graphene oxide was firstly obtained with Hummer’ s method and reacted with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine. The last, the amine-activated and organosilane containing GO was reacted with 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde resulting the hybrid material (M) having azomethine group. The material (M) was used as an adsorbent in order to remove the cobalt(II) and zinc(II) ions in drinking water and standard solutions. The adsorption capacity of the material (M) to cobalt(II) and zinc(II) ions was investigated by batch method. Moreover, the effect of pH, contact time, temperature, and concentration on the adsorption capacity of the material was also investigated. The enrichment factors were calculated as 441 and 675 for zinc(II) and cobalt(II), respectively. The recovery performance of the material was determined in 98.65-101.75% and 98.55-104.0% range for zinc(II) and cobalt(II) ions, respectively.

Abstract Incorporation of nanofillers into polyurethane (PU) is a promising technique for enhancing its thermal and mechanical properties. Silane grafting has been used as a surface treatment for the functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) with numerous reactive sites dispersed on its basal plane and edge. In this study, amine-grafted GO was prepared using silanization of GO with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane. The functionalized graphene oxide (fGO) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Next, it was introduced in PU fabricated using polycaprolactone diol, castor oil, and hexamethylene diisocyanate. The fGO–PU nanocomposites were in turn characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and a universal testing machine. The results obtained from these analyses showed changes in structural thermal properties, as well as improved thermal stability and mechanical properties because of the strong interfacial adhesion between the fGO and the PU matrix.

A novel method to functionalize graphene oxide (GO) by hyperbranched polysiloxane via polyhydrosilylation is reported, taking advantage of hyperbranched polysiloxane that possesses good properties such as low viscosity, good rheology, good solubility and high reactivity. The changes in GO surface morphology, chemistry and physical conditions at different stages are characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XPS analysis shows that the oxygen content of GO is 29.90% and the silicon content of hyperbranched polysiloxane grafted graphene oxide (HBPGO) is 18.66%. The results indicate that hyperbranched polysiloxane is successfully grafted onto the surface of GO and this novel nanostructure may have potential applications in composites.

Three-dimensional (3D) double-network graphene oxide/alginate-polyacrylonitrile (GO/Ca-Alg2-PAN) composite hydrogels were synthesized via surface functionalization of GO to activate adsorption sites. The morphology and structure of the GO/Ca-Alg2-PAN were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA-DSC). The results of the physicochemical analyses indicated that GO/Ca-Alg2-PAN was successfully synthesized by the combination of a 2D-structured graphene oxide with the alginate which was functionalized with the PAN polymer to generate the 3D double network composites. This functionalization approach contributed to an increase in Cu<sup>2+</sup> ion adsorption capacity. The maximum adsorption capacity of the GO/Ca-Alg2-PAN for Cu<sup>2+</sup> was 5.99 mmol/g. The results of adsorption kinetic experiments indicated that the GO/Ca-Alg2-PAN reached adsorption equilibrium within 147 mins at 2 mM Cu<sup>2+</sup> in accordance with a pseudo-second-order model.

Biosensors hold great potential for revolutionizing personalized medicine and environmental monitoring. Their construction is the key factor which depends on either manufacturing techniques or robust sensing materials to improve efficacy of the device. Functional graphene is an attractive choice for transducing material due to its various advantages in interfacing with biorecognition elements. Graphene and its derivatives such as graphene oxide (GO) are thus being used extensively for biosensors for monitoring of diseases. In addition, graphene can be patterned to a variety of structures and is incorporated into biosensor devices such as microfluidic devices and electrochemical and plasmonic sensors. Among biosensing materials, GO is gaining much attention due to its easy synthesis process and patternable features, high functionality, and high electron transfer properties with a large surface area leading to sensitive point-of-use applications. Considering demand and recent challenges, this perspective review is an attempt to describe state-of-the-art biosensors based on functional graphene. Special emphasis is given to elucidating the mechanism of sensing while discussing different applications. Further, we describe the future prospects of functional GO-based biosensors for health care and environmental monitoring with a focus on additive manufacturing such as 3D printing.
