Cellulose nanocrystal-based materials: from liquid crystal self-assembly and glass formation to multifunctional thin films

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), produced by the acid hydrolysis of wood, cotton or other cellulose-rich sources, constitute a renewable nanosized raw material with a broad range of envisaged uses: for example, in composites, cosmetics and medical devices. The intriguing ability of CNCs to self-organi... View More
