Amphiphilic reduced graphene oxide is obtained by oleo‐functionalization with epoxidized methyl oleate (renewable feedstock) using a green process. The excellent diverse solvent‐dispersivity of the oleo‐reduced amphiphilic graphene and its reduction chemistry are confirmed in this study. Oleo‐reduction of amphiphilic graphene is amenable to industrially viable processes to produce future graphene‐based polymer composites and systems.
