Obesity is the accumulation of excess body fat and the hallmark of type II diabetes mellitus, characterized by hyperglycemia. Glycemic control is very critical to reduce long-term vascular complications resulting from the progressive nature of hyperglycemia. In previous studies, thermally reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based hydrogel biocomposites were prepared and in vitro drug release studies confirmed […]
rayrayIn this research, hydrogel biocomposites were prepared from whey protein isolate (WPI), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and synthetic polymers in varied ratios. Their physicochemical properties were evaluated by FTIR, SEM, TGA, AFM, and TEM. FTIR spectra revealed significant peaks at 1167 cm−1 for C–O–C peak and at 1449 cm−1 for O–H bending for WPI and rGO, […]
