Claim 10:
11. A method of modifying a surface of graphene, the method comprising:
forming a self-assembled monolayer disposed on an outer surface of a graphene layer through non-covalent interactions between the self-assembled monolayer and a π-electron system of graphene;
the self-assembled monolayer comprising one or more pillarenes, substituted pillarenes, calixarenes, substituted calixarenes, peralkylated cyclodextrins, or substituted peralkylated cyclodextrins; and
quantifying an extent of surface coverage of the self-assembled monolayer using contact angle goniometry, Raman spectroscopy, or X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
