Impact of Colloidal Stability on Cellulose Nanocrystals Self-Ordering in Thin Films
Sulfuric acid hydrolyzed cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) display interesting self-ordering properties in water. Applications include water casting of optically active CNC- based materials and composites. N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)-cast materials do not display as good properties. Variations in [...]
