In this paper, we demonstrate a facile technique to disperse pristine few-layer graphene (FLG) in water utilizing a triphenylene based stabilizer (C10) that non-covalently functionalizes the surface without micelle formation. The yield of FLG in the final dispersion (0.2 mg FLG/mg C10) is much higher than comparable surfactants and polymers stabilizers. This dispersion is reversible in response to pH changes unlike conventional stabilizers. The C10-stabilized FLG dispersion is also stable against heat and lyophilization. This non-covalent functionalization does not disrupt the pristine structure of the graphene sheets; instead, these coatings allow for stable, aggregation-resistant FLG dispersion, as characterized through TEM. To demonstrate the utility of such dispersions, we prepared pristine FLG-loaded poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composites by a simple solution casting process. This is the first example of PVA composites based on pristine graphene. These composites have enhanced electrical properties at relatively low filler fraction (0.26 vol% FLG). Moreover, these composites exhibit improved mechanical properties established by tensile and hardness tests results; these data suggest anisotropic reinforcement caused by graphene alignment.
