Graphene films have been intensively explored because of their unique mechanical and physicochemical properties for potential applications in field of tissue engineering and implants. However, for biomedical applications, it is necessary to fully understand the toxicity and biocompatibility of the prepared graphene films since different synthesis method might lead to different biological properties. Here we report a step-by-step thermal reduction method of preparing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) film directly on various substrates at low heating temperature (below about 200 °C) without requiring any chemical reduction agent like hydrazine or other reductants (therefore we call it green method). Slowly heating GO hydrosol that was coated on the surface of a glass cell-culture dish or inside of a polypropylene tube from room temperature to 60, 100, and 160 °C for 12 h, respectively, a shiny and flat surface without crumpled structure or tiny pores was formed. We peeled it off from the substrate to explore its cytotoxicity. The results exhibited that the rGO film was biocompatible with Cal-72 cell but against Escherichia coli bacteria. Our work confirmed that rGO film produced by the green reduction method is cytocompatible with mammalian cells, which makes this rGO film a promising material for tissue engineering scaffold or as a surface-modification coating of an implant.

In this work, reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/ferroferric oxide (RGO/Fe3O4) hybrid composite was successfully fabricated by a facile one-step solvothermal method. The structure, chemical composition, morphology and magnetic properties of the samples were investigated in detail. Fe3O4 microspheres with an average diameter of 250[Formula: see text]nm were uniformly anchored on the surface of the RGO sheets without large aggregation. Moreover, the results demonstrated that the hybrid composite exhibited obviously enhanced microwave absorption properties compared with the pure Fe3O4 microspheres. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of the hybrid composite reached [Formula: see text]36.8[Formula: see text]dB at 17.2[Formula: see text]GHz with a thickness of 5.0[Formula: see text]mm and its effective absorption bandwidth (lower than [Formula: see text]10[Formula: see text]dB) was 3.9[Formula: see text]GHz with a thickness of 2.5[Formula: see text]mm. Significantly, the hybrid composite exhibited a dual-waveband absorption characteristic covering the C and Ku bands. Besides, the relationship between the matching thickness and peak frequency was reasonably explained according to the quarter-wavelength matching theory. Therefore, the obtained composite was a promising candidate for application in microwave absorption.
