Essential L-Amino Acid-Functionalized Graphene Oxide for Liquid Crystalline Phase Formation

The colloidal 2D materials based on graphene and its modifications are of great interest when it comes to forming LC phases. These phases allow controlling the orientational order particles, paving way for efficient processing modified with anisotropic properties. Here, we present peculiarities AA functionalization GO, along formation phase behavior in an external magnetic field. We discuss influence pH GOLC, ultimately showing pH-dependent GO-AA complexes. In addition, observe different GO morphology changes due presence functional groups, namely L-cysteine dimerization platform. dependency AA-functionalized is examined first time. believe that our studies will open new possibilities applications bionanotechnologies self-assembling properties LCs magnificent GO.
