Abstract

Notwithstanding the indefatigable endeavor to explore antibacterial drugs and agents, achieving improved antibacterial properties and minimizing hazardous matters has always been challenging. Garlic extract was utilized to reduce and dope graphene oxide simultaneously, considering the astonishing antibacterial characteristics of garlic extract instead of using dangerous reducing agents. A hydrothermal method was used to reduce/ dope graphene oxide. Copper cations were also loaded on the graphene oxide nanosheets doped with garlic extract. The successful synthesis of the products was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to affirm the doping of graphene oxide using garlic extract. Furthermore, according to the results obtained from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the atomic percentage of S and N elements was 1.4 % and 1 %, respectively. The result revealed that double-doped graphene oxide in water base acrylic coating on PVC panels showed a 100 percent decrease in the growth of bacteria after 6 hours.
