“…In the last few years, we have focused our investigation on the design of specific synthetic protocols for graphene functionalization, where the chosen chemical modification is designed around the target polymer where graphene is to be incorporated. These approaches have progressed from functionalization with discrete molecules (Salavagione et al, 2009b;Coşkun et al, 2012;Castelaín et al, 2013c), to the covalent bonding of graphene to polymers (Salavagione et al, 2009a;Salavagione and Martínez, 2011;Castelaín et al, 2012) and the functionalization of graphene with short polymer brushes (Castelaín et al, 2013a,b;Salavagione, 2014;Quiles-Diaz et al, 2016;Salavagione et al, 2016;Enrique-Jimenez et al, 2017;Quiles-Díaz et al, 2017). The former method uses simple chemical reactions and can lead to good functionalization levels.…”
