Elastic flow instabilities and macroscopic textures in graphene oxide lyotropic liquid crystals
Abstract Graphene oxide (GO) forms a well-aligned lyotropic liquid crystal (LC) phase in aqueous dispersions at relatively low concentrations. Under a remarkably wide range of shear rates, we report hitherto unobserved shear-induced polarized light image patterns, a Maltese cross combined with shear...
