FGOCs were found to significantly improve the solubility of the GO in aqueous acidic media. The presence of organic groups was confirmed by means of XPS and TGA. Restoration of the sp(2) carbon network and exfoliation of graphene sheets were confirmed by Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy and WAXD. The SEM and AFM investigations of the resultant FGOCs showed that most of the graphene sheets were individual and few were layered. Controlled release behavior of Ibuprofen and 5-fluorouracil was then investigated. We found that FGOCs are a promising new material for biological and medical applications.</p>10aBiocompatibility10aChitosan10adrug delivery systems10afunctionalization of polymers10asolution properties1 aRana, Vijay, Kumar1 aChoi, Myeon-Cheon1 aKong, Jin-Yeon1 aKim, Gwang, Yeon1 aKim, Mi, Ju1 aKim, Sun-Hee1 aMishra, Satyendra1 aSingh, Raj, Pal1 aHa, Chang-Sik  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/synthesis-and-drug-delivery-behavior-chitosan-functionalized-graphene-oxide-hybrid-0
