Graphene-based antibacterial paper has food packaging potential

New antibacterial paper made from graphene-based nanomaterials could be used in food packaging to extend shelf-life, said Chinese scientists.

The researchers from Shanghai university said it had developed two water-based dispersible graphene derivatives can “effectively inhibit the growth of E.coli” that have minimal toxic effects on harming cells – so-called cytotoxicity.
