“…GO is a layered material consisting of hydrophilic oxygenated graphene sheets carrying oxygen functional groups [81] of hydroxyl, epoxy, carbonyl and carboxyl on their basal planes and edges, which allows the attachment of other functional groups through typical organic reactions, such as amidation, silanization, esterification, substitution and cycloaddition [69]. Modification via amidation provides reaction of GO to functional molecules such as amino acids [82], casein phosphopeptides [83], polyethylene glycol (PEG) [84][85], chitosan [86], polyethyleneimine [87][88][89], acid pectinase [90], poly(Llysine), polyurethane [91], among others [92][93][94]. Likewise, amidation, esterification [95][96][97][98][99] and silanization [100][101][102][103][104] are other approaches to modify GO with numerous functionalities [69].…”
