Unwinding a spiral of cellulose nanocrystals for stimuli-responsive stretchable optics
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) spontaneously organize into a helical arrangement but flexible CNC elastomer composite materials with this structure were so far not realized. Here the authors demonstrate the fabrication of a CNC based elastomer composite and its application as a photonic strain sensor...
