I have tried the reported steps of GO synthesis from different papers where people has shown the nematic phase of GO in aqueous medium, but I am not able to get it.
I want to know what are the critical steps in the synthesis of GO which can show LC phase. Also what is the typical dimension for the exfoliated GO sheets which can show LC phase easily? How much time does it usually take to show LC phase after suspension in water and at what concentration?
I have gone through so many papers, so please provide some explanation alongside references.
