“…The results showed that higher DOX loading than usual could be achieved, as well as efficient delivery to the cancel cells. In addition to these applications in cancer treatment, biomaterials for photo/NIR chemotherapy can be obtained via the π–π complexation of DNA or other biomolecules with GO, which can be easily carried out in water [ 142 , 143 ]. Nanohybrids constituted by DOX and GO functionalized with Pluronic F127 molecules demonstrated good potential for the signal pathway of tumor-targeting therapy [ 144 ].…”

Interest in the development of graphene-based materials for advanced applications is growing, because of the unique features of such nanomaterials and, above all, of their outstanding versatility, which enables several functionalization pathways that lead to materials with extremely tunable properties and architectures. This review is focused on the careful examination of relationships between synthetic approaches currently used to derivatize graphene, main properties achieved, and target applications proposed. Use of functionalized graphene nanomaterials in six engineering areas (materials with enhanced mechanical and thermal performance, energy, sensors, biomedical, water treatment, and catalysis) was critically reviewed, pointing out the latest advances and potential challenges associated with the application of such materials, with a major focus on the effect that the physicochemical features imparted by functionalization routes exert on the achievement of ultimate properties capable of satisfying or even improving the current demand in each field. Finally, current limitations in terms of basic scientific knowledge and nanotechnology were highlighted, along with the potential future directions towards the full exploitation of such fascinating nanomaterials.
