Abstract
The invention relates to a method allowing functionalization of carbon nano-objects and in particular carbon nanotubes and graphene nanosheets, a composition comprising nano-objects functionalized by this method, suspended in an organic solvent, as well as to the uses of this composition. Suitable applications include elaboration of composite materials and, in particular, of nano-composite materials, materials intended for photovoltaics, detection devices of the detector/sensor or biodetector/biosensor type, photocatalysis systems, targeted vectorization systems for compounds of therapeutic or diagnostic interest or further contrast agents for medical imaging.
