Experimental study demonstrates tunable optoelectronic and biological properties in ethyl-cellulose/phosphate graphene nanocomposites, highlighting utility for eco-friendly packaging.

Key Points

To evaluate how varying concentrations of phosphate graphene nanofillers alter the structural, mechanical, optical, and biological characteristics of ethyl-cellulose nanocomposites.
Synthesized ethyl-cellulose nanocomposites reinforced with varying weight fractions of phosphate-functionalized graphene nanofillers.
Analyzed crystalline structure, surface morphology, chemical bonds, and optical response using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, FESEM-EDAX, and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
Assessed concentration-dependent antioxidant capabilities and inhibitory effects against the metabolic enzymes α-glucosidase and α-amylase.
Phosphate graphene incorporation increased crystallite size and Young's modulus while narrowing the direct optical bandgap from 5.02 eV to 3.85 eV.
Optical dielectric constants, optical conductivity, refractive index, and Urbach energy increased progressively with higher nanofiller loading.
Nanocomposites demonstrated concentration-dependent antioxidant activity and potent inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase, reaching optimal biological efficiency at 5 wt.% nanofiller.
