  • Antimicrobial textiles decorated with GO
    A 2023 study in International Journal of Molecular Sciences compared textiles (e.g., cotton) decorated with graphene oxide and other carbon materials. GO-coated fabrics showed up to 98% inhibition of E. coli and S. aureus, and maintained ~90% effectiveness even after multiple washes. This aligns very closely with your in‑house coated‑fabric test scenario Nature+4.

  • GO coatings for sustained oral antimicrobial effect
    Published in Scientific Reports (2022), this work developed GO/antimicrobial surfactant ultrathin films for dental surfaces. The GO layer self‑adhered even after rinsing and sustained antibacterial action against S. mutans and A. naeslundii for up to 7 days—demonstrating GO’s ability to retain active agents on a substrate surface over time PMC.

  • Antibacterial epoxy-coated aluminium surfaces with GO
    An applied-materials study reported GO coatings on aluminum exhibiting strong antimicrobial activity—due to oxidative/nanoscale-mechanical mechanisms (membrane damage, ROS generation)—suggesting GO-coated metals or fabrics can be highly effective antimicrobial surfaces, potentially relevant for healthcare or clean-room settings MDPI.
