    However, particular attention should be taken if the sonication treatment is too long and therefore too aggressive. The CNTs can be damaged as the graphene sheet is destroyed [45]. Concerning the functionalization methods, depending on the interaction between the active molecules and carbon atoms on the CNTs, it is possible to distinguish between chemical functionalization and physical methods.
