Liquid crystal is the mesomorphic ordered state of anisotropic particles that bears liquid-like fluidity as well as crystal-like ordering. Along with the recent enormous interests to carbon materials, carbon based liquid crystal holds great promise for high performance carbon material synthesis or device operation. Liquid crystalline processing of carbon nanotubes, as well as mesophase pitch, has been employed for highly oriented carbon fiber preparation. In this work, graphene oxide liquid crystal is introduced as a versatile, new class of carbon based liquid crystal. Graphene oxide is the oxygenated form of a monolayer graphene platelet with exceptional material properties. The solution processibility of graphene oxide offers a practical route to carbon based composites, paper, or thin film preparation. Here, the liquid crystallinity of graphene oxide offers a versatile route to control the molecular organization and the corresponding properties of the carbon based materials. |
