T1 - Controlled covalent functionalization of thermally reduced graphene oxide to generate defined bifunctional 2D nanomaterials N2 - A controlled, reproducible, gram-scale method is reported for the covalent functionalization of graphene Sheets by a one-pot nitrene [2+1] cycloaddition reaction under mild conditions. The reaction between commercially available 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and sodium azide with thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) results in defined dichlorotriazine-functionalized sheets. The different reactivities of the chlorine substituents on the functionalized graphene allow stepwise post-modification by manipulating the temperature. This new method provides unique access to defined bifunctional 2D nanomaterials, as exemplified by chiral surfaces and multifunctional hybrid architectures.

T1 - Inhibition of Herpes Virus by Specific and Non-specific Interactions With Graphene Conjugates N2 - Herpes viruses (HSV) are global, host-adapted pathogens that cause a widespread diversity of diseases. The frequency of HSV infections all over the world has amplified over the last years, making it a major concern in the area of public health. Therefore, synthesis of systems that can inhibit development of these viruses is required. Various compounds already have shown inhibition of HSV, but concentration of these inhibitors is relatively high and resistance against those drugs is challenging. Combination of biological knowledge, about structure of the active site on the surface of HSV that is responsible for inhibition of the pathogen, with the chemistry of graphene results in 2D systems with the ability of specific and nonspecific interactions with HSV. In this work, 2D nanomaterials with picomolar IC50 against HSV are synthesized by conjugation of peptides to the surface of graphene. 2D nanomaterials are characterized by various methods, including XPS, AFM and IR. Biological evaluation showed high potency of synthesized nanomaterials to inhibit HSV and therefore underlined possibility to use such materials in future biomedical applications.
