For the first time, we harness the unique phase-selectivity of chip-integrated graphene oxide (GO) membranes to significantly enhance flow control on centrifugal microfluidic platforms. In this paper, we present novel processes for the assembly of these GO membranes into polymeric microfluidic systems and demonstrate that multilayer GO membranes allow the passage of water while blocking pressurized air and organic solutions.
