(a) AFM image of a GO nanosheet; the inset is an optical image of the GO nanosheet solution. (b) AFM image of NFC; the inset is an optical image of the NFC solution. (c) Polarized optical microscopy (POM) image of the GO–NFC liquid crystal solution showing a typical LC phase; the inset is an optical image of the GO–NFC solution used for wet spinning. (d) POM image of the GO–NFC solution after drying, which shows clear alignment. AFM, atomic force microscopy; GO, graphene oxide; LC, liquid crystal; NFC, nanofibrillated cellulose.
