Abstract
El grafeno es uno de los materiales más estudiados en los últimos años debido a sus
excelentes propiedades mecánicas, ópticas y eléctricas, centrándose algunos estudios recientes en su
capacidad de interactuar con células y tejidos. Entre los retos científicos de la bioingeniería está el
desarrollo de nuevos sistemas de tratamiento de heridas mediante sustancias con alto poder
bactericida. Las propiedades del grafeno en este sentido pueden aportar soluciones novedosas. En
esta comunicación se presentan los resultados preliminares de un estudio sobre inhibición del
crecimiento bacteriano en medios dopados con grafeno. La medida de la proliferación bacteriana en
medios de cultivo convencionales y dopados con grafeno, confirman que éste actúa de manera
efectiva como agente antibacteriano, lo que abre nuevas líneas de investigación en Defensa, entre
ellas, la preparación de productos con grafeno para evitar infecciones en heridas abiertas antes de
la evacuación del herido, aumentando sus posibilidades de supervivencia
Graphene is one of the most studied materials in recent years due to its excellent mechanical, optical and electrical properties. Recent studies have been focused on the graphene capacity to interact with cells and tissues. One of the scientific challenges of bioengineering is the development of new systems to the wound healing by products with high bactericidal activity. Properties of graphene in this field can contribute to obtain new solutions. Preliminary results of one study about the inhibition of bacteria growth in graphene doped environments are shown in this paper. Comparison of the measure of the bacterial proliferation in both conventional and graphene doped cultures environments, confirms that graphene can act as an effective antibacterial agent. These results open new research lines in Defense, including the preparation of new graphene containing products to avoid infections in open injuries before wounded evacuation, which should lead to an increase of survival possibilities
