Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanosheet for Chemo-photothermal Therapy

The protein-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheet is of great interest in stimuli-responsive drug delivery and controlled release applications. We developed doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA)-functionalized rGO (DOX-BSA-rGO) nanosheets. To investigate the reduction of BSA-functionalized GO nanosheets and drug loading efficiency, we used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV–visible spectrophotometer...
