It often becomes necessary to prepare dispersions of graphene in organic or aqueous media [73-74]. For this purpose, different approaches have been successfully employed for few-layer graphene. The two main approaches for obtaining this type of graphene are covalent functionalization or by means of noncovalent interactions. There has been some recent effort to carry out covalent and noncovalent functionalization of graphene with aromatic molecules, which help to exfoliate and stabilize the individual graphene sheets and to modify their electronic properties [75 84].
