title: Long-range ordered graphite oxide liquid crystals.
abstract: Liquid crystallinity of graphite oxide (GtO) flakes prepared without the need for sonication was found. Therefore, the scalable processing of GtO liquid crystals (LCs) became promising. The spontaneous highly-ordered alignment of GtO LCs was observed, as verified by SEM and TEM. The effects of electric fields on GtO LCs were demonstrated.
