It is seen from hypothesis that modification increases the dispersion level in matrices but is there any other possible way to increase the dispersion and avoid the agglomeration problem of graphite platelets in polymer matrices.
any dispersion can be imparted in any matrix. the only thing matters is its extent of dispersion. for your specific answer, there are many reports of imparting graphite in Ni matrix and also graphene in various metal and polymer matrices.
dispersion of (micron size) graphite platelets in polymer systems is relatively easy, no need to specifically functionalize the graphite surface. One does this usually in polymer melt using extruders or banbury mixers, in lab scale, you can use two-roll mills. Alternatively, you can dissolve the polymer matrix, bring your graphite in, stirr, and remove the solvents.
