Controlling Alignment in Cellulose Nanocrystal Coatings

Haywood A.D., Ashurst R.W., Davis V.A., Auburn University, US

Investigations on the rheology and phase behavior of aqueous CNC dispersions have been used to develop processes for making CNC coatings with controlled properties. We report how the interplay between dispersion microstructure, shear, and drying [...]

Reversible Long-Range Assemblies in Gold Nanoparticles – Liquid Crystal Composites: Molecular Dynamics of the Gold Capping Layer

Milette J., Toader V., Scheffer L.-P., Lennox R.B., Reven L., McGill University, CA

Highly miscible mesogenic ligand capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) [1] that produce reversible long-range assemblies in nematic and smectic liquid crystal (LC) [2-3] were recently developed by our group. At the isotropic-to-nematic phase transition of cyanobiphenyl [...]
