When these compounds have to be used in large quantities for multiple CAT scans, it can result in adverse effects ranging from mild to severe. Secondly, iodine being the only element which gives the essential optical properties to the agent, large quantity of iodine is needed in preparing these compounds. Recently, graphene-based compounds are being researched for their exceptional optical properties, and their compatibility with the body tissues. If combined with iodine, they are believed to give a significant contrast with a less dose of the agent. In this thesis work, we tried to synthesize graphene nanoplatelets incorporating iodine ions through chemical bonding. We modified Hofmann's method1 to oxidize graphite flakes; with a further modification of using potassium iodate in the place of potassium chlorate as an oxidizer, in order to attach iodine ions to the graphene oxide platelets. Later, we reduced these oxidized graphene platelets using 32.1 mM hydroiodic acid instead of the standard hydrazine. Dextran-coating was done to make the molecules more dispersible in water and also biocompatible with the body tissues. The efficiency of the chemical reactions was examined by different characterization techniques like Raman Spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy and ISE. The morphology was checked by TEM and AFM. The particle size obtained was in the range of 1 - 2 \u00c2\u00b5m. Cell toxicity studies were done by the LDH and Prestoblue assay to evaluate the toxicity of the particles on two different cell lines. CT Phantom studies showed that the contrast produced by the composite material was more than an equivalent amount of pure iodine."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:51:36Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Button, Terry"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Gadgil, Aditi Parag"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:51:36Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:51:36Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Biomedical Engineering."},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"57 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Monograph"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/76990"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2013-12-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:51:36Z (GMT).
