• therefore be excluded to ensure the efficient esterification-type reactions with graphene-family materials. Aprotic organic solvents should instead be used as a reaction medium. It is obviously a barrier for the processes with the inclusion of GO or RGO, as these carbon nanostructures’ colloidal stability
