Do CVD grown graphene films have antibacterial activity on metallic substrates? [PDF]
Carbon 84 (2015) 310-316, 2014 Accurate assessment of the antibacterial activity of graphene requires consideration of both the graphene fabrication method and, for supported films, the properties of the substrate. Large-area graphene films produced by chemical vapor deposition were grown directly on copper substrates or transferred on a gold substrate and their effect on the ...
