Graphene oxide was modified with third-generation poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) to obtain dendrimer-grafted GO (DGO) with high content of functional groups. DGO's amine groups were conjugated with S-(thiobenzoyl)thioglycolic acid as proved by XPS and poly(acrylic acid) was grafted onto surface via RAFT polymerization (DGO@PAA). FT-IR results approved the synthesis of samples whereas TGA revealed 40.3% grafting of PAA. XRD patterns showed that with further modification, d-spacing increased. According to Raman spectra, modification resulted in more disordered structure whereas DGO@PAA showed a high value of I-D/I-G. Morphological studies were performed by SEM and TEM that showed a polymeric layer covered the surface of nanosheets. [GRAPHICS] .
