Abstract: A method for preparing aqueous or organic suspensions of fully exfoliated nanocarbon materials includes a) dissolving a nanocarbon intercalation compound in an aprotic organic solvent (A) or a mixture (A?) of aprotic organic solvents under inert atmosphere; b) re-oxidation to revert the reduced nanocarbon material to its neutral state; and c) mixing the organic suspension of neutral nanocarbon obtained in step b) with a suitable amount of degassed water, degassed ionic aqueous solution, degassed organic solvent (B), degassed mixture (B?) of organic solvents, or degassed mixture of (B) or (B?) with water or an aqueous ionic solution; wherein solvent (A) or solvent mixture (A?) is fully or partially water-miscible or fully or partially miscible with solvent (B) or solvent mixture (B?); thereby leading to an air-metastable aqueous or organic suspension of nanocarbon material.

Abstract: A method of forming a pattern on the surface made of a hydrophobic macromolecular material of a substrate is provided, the method having a step of immersing at least said surface of the substrate in a solution that having at least 50% by volume of water and, optionally, one or more polar solvents having a dielectric constant greater than 30 and contains less than 0.0001 mol/L of dissolved gases and on source. The invention is particularly applicable in the electronics field.
