Incorporation of graphene oxide into C12E4/C12mimBr hybrid lyotropic liquid crystal and its thermo-sensitive properties

Abstract: Graphene oxide (GO) was successfully incorporated into a hybrid lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) matrix formed by two kinds of surfactants n-dodecyl tetraethylene monoether (C 12 E 4 ) and 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ionic liquid (C 12 mimBr). By changing the ratios of C 12 E 4 and C 12 mimBr, two types of C 12 E 4 /C 12 mimBr LLC matrixes (lamellar and hexagonal phase) were formed and the effects of the concentration of GO and temperature on the properties of GO/C 12 E 4 /C 12 mimBr LLC composites wer… Show more

“…Spherical aggregates and typical Maltese cross texture were observed in optical microscope and under polarized light, respectively, confirming the presence of lamellar structure in aggregates (Figure S2a,b). To explore the real structures of these spherical aggregates, SEM experiments were carefully performed and giant vesicles with diameter of about 1–10 μm were clearly observed (Figure a). Different from conventional vesicles assembled by surfactants or lipids in aqueous or nonaqueous solutions that collapse immediately on solid surfaces after evaporation of the solvent, it is interesting to find that our vesicles could keep the original morphology during the solvent evaporating, which shows a solid-like property.…”

“…All the ratios of the two peaks are 1 : 2, suggesting a typical lamellar structure of Rheological measurements can give macro properties of the system, and it is an important method to investigate LLC materials. [31][32][33] The results of the rheological properties of liquid crystal composites as a function of the concentration of C To further characterize the features of the formed nanostructures at various concentrations of C 12 E 4 and C 16 -GK-3, the FTIR and CD spectra were measured, as shown in Fig. 11.…”
