“…However, the same method for the functionalization of graphene but using citric acid as a substrate leads to functionalized hybrid nanomaterials having hyperbranched polycitric acid in circular shapes on their surface. 76 In another report, a remarkable dendrimer size effect on the solubility and bulk electrical conductivity of dendronized graphene has been extensively described. 77 In this work, a onestep covalent functionalization and simultaneous reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with dendritic anilines (D n PhNH 2 ) has resulted in dendronized graphenes, named D n G, where n is the generation number of the dendritic structure having a value of 0-3 ( Fig.…”

“…Functionalization plays a crucial role in enhancing the applicability of optical nanomaterials for various biological imaging (Figure ). Optical nanomaterials can be tailored and functionalized to improve their biocompatibility, targeting capabilities, stability in biological environment, and imaging performance. − Coating and conjugation are important steps in this regard, with several advantages. As most of the high quality nanoparticles are capped with hydrophobic surfactant, the coating process can replace those hydrophobic ligands and make the nanoparticle water dispersible.…”

“…The most common and simple approach is the ligand exchange approach. In this process the native ligands on the surface of nanomaterials are exchanged with ligands that offer better biocompatibility or targeting capabilities. − , The most common method is thiolated small-molecule-based ligand exchange. In some cases, affinity biomolecules are converted into thiolated molecules and then used for ligand exchange in deriving functional nanoparticle.…”

Bioimaging plays a pivotal role in modern biomedical research that provides vital insights about complex biological structures and biochemical processes. Optical nanomaterials have emerged as a powerful bioimaging tool due to their unique properties that include tunable optical characteristics, bright emission with high photostability, and biocompatibility. This review provides a comprehensive overview about optical nanomaterials for advanced bioimaging and highlights their potential applications in various biomedical disciplines. First, we discuss different classes of optical nanomaterials, with their basic properties that make them unique for bioimaging applications. Next, we discuss the functional modifications of nanoparticles that are required for bioimaging applications. Next, we focus on their applications in cellular/subcellular imaging and super-resolution imaging. Lastly, we discuss the associated challenges and opportunities in disease diagnosis, therapeutic response monitoring, and precision medicine guidance.

“…97,99 Non-covalent and covalent functionalization are two major strategies for the modification of graphene and its derivatives. [100][101][102][103][104][105][106] Graphene derivatives can be covalently modified by covalent attachment of polymers through addition of free radicals or dienophiles to their C=C bonds. Macromolecules can also be conjugated to GO through silanization, amidation, esterification, and cycloaddition reactions.…”

Two-dimensional nanomaterials are emerging as promising candidates for a wide range of biomedical applications including tissue engineering, biosensing, pathogen incapacitation, wound healing, and gene and drug delivery. Graphene, due to its high surface area, photothermal property, high loading capacity, and efficient cellular uptake, is at the forefront of these materials and plays a key role in this multidisciplinary research field. Poor water dispersibility and low functionality of graphene, however, hamper its hybridization into new nanostructures for future nanomedicine. Functionalization of graphene, either by covalent or non-covalent methods, is the most useful strategy to improve its dispersion in water and functionality as well as processability into new materials and devices. In this review, recent advances in functionalization of graphene derivatives by different (macro)molecules for future biomedical applications are reported and explained. In particular, hydrophilic functionalization of graphene and graphene oxide (GO) to improve their water dispersibility and physicochemical properties is discussed. We have focused on the anticancer drug delivery of polyfunctional graphene sheets.
