Study effected Graphene Oxide (GO) on dielectric and conductivity in binary system Liquid Crystals.

Comparative study of n-dodecyl tetraethylene monoether lyotropic liquid crystals incorporated with graphene and graphene oxide.

Two kinds of carbon materials, i.e., graphene and graphene oxide (GO), were successfully incorporated into a lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) matrix formed by n-dodecyl tetraethylene monoether (C12E4). The properties of graphene-C12E4 and GO-C12E4 LLC composites were characterized by UV-vis absorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations, polarized optical microscopy (POM) observa...

Dielectric Investigations on Ferroelectric Columnar Liquid Crystals

Graphene oxide liquid crystals for reflective displays without polarizing optics.

The recent emergence of liquid crystals of atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials not only has allowed us to explore novel phenomena of macroscopically aligned 2D nanomaterials but also has provided a route toward their controlled assembly into three-dimensional functional macrostructures. Using flow-induced mechanical alignment, we prepared flakes of graphene oxide (GO) in different or...

Liquid crystals: Electric fields line up graphene oxide.

Liquid crystals of carbon nanotubes and graphene.

Liquid crystal ordering is an opportunity to develop novel materials and applications with spontaneously aligned nanotubes or graphene particles. Nevertheless, achieving high orientational order parameter and large monodomains remains a challenge. In addition, our restricted knowledge of the structure of the currently available materials is a limitation for fundamental studies and future applic...
