Invited Article: Chiral optics of helicoidal cellulose nanocrystal films
Cellulose nanocrystals in water suspensions behave as lyotropic liquid crystals forming a chiral nematic phase above a critical concentration. Such an organization can be retained in solid films and give rise to an intense colored appearance. Here, we characterize the...
