Graphene nanoplatelets are “pure carbon”, with a high tendency to aggregate and poor interactions with the surrounding matrix, hence difficult to disperse in processes and supports such as epoxy resin, or thermoplastics. The chemical modification on the surface of graphite nanoplatelet open new properties allowing good interaction with the targeted matrix. Without these chemical modifications the dispersion step became a difficult task and quite often do not produce the expected benefits.

Graphene sheets have been dispersed in water and organic solvents by noncovalent surface modification with the assistance of bifunctional molecule pyrene-adamantane (Py-Ad) carrying a pyrene moiety. Lipophilic graphene sheets have been obtained in the form of graphene-Py-Ad in a wide
Since its discovery little more than a decade ago,1 the two-dimensional (2D) allotrope of carbon—graphene—has been the subject of intense multidisciplinary research efforts.
