G
raphene Oxide (GO) is an oxidized form of graphene, containing functional groups exposed all over its surface expanding
the capacity to link drugs and other functional molecules through noncovalent/covalent interaction. Therefore, GO can
be considered an appropriate platform, since it can easily physically absorb cationic charged dye compounds via strong p-p and
electrostatic interaction on its surface resulting on the formation of GO-dye composite. GO is basically composed of carbon
than it can be considered relatively biocompatible, being a suitable candidate for biological applications as well. We associated
GO with a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy. UV-vis spectroscopy and fluorescence emission measurement were used
to characterize this system.
