Flexible, Photonic Films of Surfactant‐Functionalized Cellulose Nanocrystals for Pressure and Humidity Sensing

Most paints contain pigments that absorb light and fade over time. A robust alternative can be found in nature, where structural coloration arises from the interference of light with submicron features. Plant‐derived, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) mimic these features by self‐assembling into a chole...
