Graphene oxide paper

The paper is fabricated from graphene oxide. It stacks well in layers, which may be able to be chemically bonded, leading to the development of additional new materials. As a result of the oxidation of the graphene sheets used in fabrication, it is an electrical insulator; however, it may be possible to tune this property, making the paper a conductor or semiconductor, without sacrificing its mechanical properties .
