Abstract

Graphene presents exceptional properties. When this nanomaterial is present in nanocomposites, even at low concentrations, their properties are drastically changed and can be tuned according to the desired final nanocomposite characteristics. Graphene-based materials, such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced GO, can be functionalized with different chemical species, enhancing their versatility. Furthermore, these materials can provide hydrophobic properties for nanocomposites, being useful for applications in anticorrosive coatings, membranes, and packaging. This review analyzed different methodologies/functionalizations reported in the literature to obtain graphene-based nanocomposites with hydrophobic properties.
