Recent Advances in Chiral Nematic Structure and Iridescent Color of Cellulose Nanocrystal Films
One unique property of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) is their property of forming suspensions with chiral nematic order. This order can be preserved in films cast from the suspensions, raising the possibility of applications as photonic materials and templates. However, it has proved difficult to gen...
