Abstract—Supramolecular self-assembly of nanostructures is widely pursued in different industrial and biological fields for many nano-materials including grapheme oxide (GO). In the present study, we synthesized using chemical method and characterized the self-assembled nanostructures of GO using UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fluorescence spectroscopy, Field emission Scanning electron microscopy and Dynamic light scattering particle size analysis. It was observed that the synthesized self-assembled GO nanostructures product showed the floral patterns. Such patterns were developed due to self-aggregation by nano-sized GO sheets. However, when the individual particle size distribution was observed, it was found to have a size distribution in the range of 50 to 250 nm.
