Abstract

Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were functionalized through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylide using a solvent-free approach and under different reaction conditions. The yield and the functionality of the carboxyl-terminated pyrrolidine ring attached on the surface of GNPs could be affected by varying the reaction temperature as well as the reactant to GNP weight ratio. The functionalized GNPs were characterized extensively using a range of spectroscopic and microscopy techniques.
