Abstract:

Graphene oxide (GO) is a kind of two-dimensional nanomaterial, which is cheap, easy to disperse in water, able to response to near infrared (NIR) light and has good thermal performance. The introduction of graphene oxide endows hydrogels with varieties of excellent properties of nanomaterials, thus greatly broadens the potential application of hydrogels. In this paper, graphene oxide composite hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties, superior thermal conductivity to absorb NIR, self-healing ability and its application in the smart actuators and cell scaffolds are introduced in detail. The direction of its future research and prospect are put forward.
