Research progress of antibacterial finishing of textiles based on graphene oxide and its composite materials

Graphene oxide (GO), as an oxygen-containing derivative of graphene, has attracted wide attention for its excellent physical and chemical properties. In this paper, the antibacterial mechanism of graphene oxide was analyzed; the research progress of antibacterial composite materials of graphene oxide and metal particles, metal oxides and organics were summarized; and the antibacterial finishing methods and their advantages and disadvantages of textiles based on graphene oxide and its composite materials were discussed again. Finally, the research trends of graphene oxide and its composite materials in textile antibacterial finishing were further analyzed.
