Wet-spinning of multifunctional graphene fibers using graphene oxide liquid crystals

The recent discovery of liquid crystalline (LC) behavior

of graphene oxide (GO) dispersions in various organic,

and aqueous media brings added control to the assembly

of larger structures using the chemical process

approach.[1-3] The LC state can be used to direct the

ordered assembly of nanocomponents in macroscopic

structures via simple methods like wet-spinning.
