Graphene Oxide (GO) is an oxidized form of graphene that possesses remarkable properties such as high mechanical strength, excellent electrical conductivity, and a large surface area due to the presence of various oxygen-containing functional groups. These characteristics make GO a highly promising material for applications in electronics, energy storage devices, and biomaterials. In this study, we aim to analyze the microstructure and behavior of GO using microchannels. When GO is dispersed in water and observed in bulk form, it appears as a uniformly distributed fluid. However, when observed microscopically within a microchannel, individual GO sheets are found to exist separately yet adhere to each other, forming layered structures. This observation suggests that the behavior of GO dispersion can differ significantly at the microscopic level. Our study using microchannels offers insights into controlling and optimizing GO microstructure.
