Graphene oxide - potential use in wood protection based on a review of antibacterial and fungicide properties

Abstract

: Graphene oxide - potential use in wood protection based on a review of antibacterial and fungicide properties. Graphene oxide is a material that has been generating interest among researchers in recent years. Due to its properties, it can be used in many scientific and industrial fields. Not all of its properties are significantly known, making it a potential subject of research in many different aspects. The topic of this article is to assess the potential applications of graphene oxide in the field of wood science industry. Based on the literature, the antibacterial and fungicidal properties are characterised. The fungicidal effect of graphene oxide, mainly in plant protection, leads to consideration of the potential use of this material in protection against wood-destroying fungi.
