Uzbek scientists have created biologically safe graphene

Scientists at the Institute of Materials Science of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan have produced multilayer graphene based on biological principles. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

A laboratory sample of a filter-press device called Water-Tol, designed for water purification, was also created using this material. In recent years, carbon-based materials, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, and graphene oxide, have been extensively studied.

Although these materials stand out for their strength and unique physicochemical properties, their use in medicine is limited in some cases due to the use of toxic substances during production. The multilayer graphene developed by the Academy of Sciences scientists is particularly notable for its biological safety.

Research shows that this nanocarbon material does not have a negative effect on human body tissues; on the contrary, it accelerates wound healing and has active effects against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It has also been found to stimulate the regeneration of cells and tissues.

Experts evaluate this graphene as a new generation biomaterial. It can be used in medicine for wound treatment, preparation of antibacterial coatings, and as a drug carrier in pharmaceuticals.

In industry, it is considered promising for the production of strong and durable materials. Additionally, this graphene is highly effective in purifying water and air, as well as absorbing harmful substances and radionuclides.

According to the scientists, since this material does not contain oxygen groups, it can be used as a safe and innovative solution in the fields of medicine and ecology. Source: one.uz
