Graphene, despite being the best known strong and electrical/thermal conductive material,
has found limited success in practical applications, mostly due to difficulties in the formation …

Graphene oxide (GO), a mostly known oxidized derivative of graphene, which possesses
two-dimensional (2D) topological nature and good dispersity in multiple common solvents …

Graphene oxide liquid crystals (GOLCs) were exfoliated in a wide variety of solvents (water,
ethylene glycol (EG), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), and dimethylformamide (DMF)) by high …

Graphene oxide (GO) liquid crystals are of great interest for membrane preparation. Vacuum
filtration has been frequently adopted as a small-scale manufacturing method. The main …

Exfoliated platelets of graphene oxide (GO) can be considered as polydisperse 2D colloids
that form nematic colloidal liquid crystal phases in aqueous suspension even at very low …

Understanding the dispersion behavior of MXenes is interesting from a fundamental colloid
science perspective and critical to enabling the fluid-phase manufacturing of MXene devices …

Herein, we report the dispersion and stabilization of graphene oxide (GO) in the polar
organic solvent glycerol (C 3 H 8 O 3). The GO/glycerol (0.5 mg/mL and 1 mg/mL) …

This study presents a simple technique for the approximation of retardation, thickness and
mass of birefringent particles with a retardation from 8 to 231 nm retardation. Tuning of the …

Herein, graphene oxide (GO) with large flakes of average size 38 μm is studied, following
the isotropic–nematic phase transition over time and determining the critical concentration …

Polarized light microscopy is a widely used technique to observe specimens that are
optically anisotropic, or birefringent. It has a broad applicability in the study of minerals, soft …
