Mechanochemically aminated multilayer graphene for carbon/polypropylene graft polymers and nanocomposites by L. Burk, M. Walter, A. C. Asmacher, M. Gliem, M. Moseler, R. Muelhaupt

“…The two-stage mechanochemical amination of graphite by dry ball milling of graphite in a planetary ball mill under Ar followed by NH3 yields aminated multilayer graphene (AMFG) as intermediates for carbon/polymer hybrids and nanocomposites. Opposite to efficient edge-selective graphene functionalization under Ar, CO2 and N2 pressure, the onestage ball milling under NH3 pressure affords rather low N content (<0.5 wt%) and fails to reduce the graphite platelet size. …”
