Mesophase characteristics of cellulose nanocrystal films prepared from electrolyte suspensions

Soo-Ah Jin et al.

Summary: In this study, optically-active CNC films were prepared from different electrolyte suspensions to investigate the effects of counterion type and ionic strength on mesomorphic behavior and cholesteric arrangement. The presence of electrolytes was found to influence CNC colloidal stability and alter interactions among neighboring CNCs and water, impacting the formation of the mesophase. Factors such as cationic radius and charge valence were discovered to affect mesomorphic behavior and CNC alignment, providing insights for adjusting the optical properties of CNC films for specific applications.

Re-Printable Chiral Photonic Paper with Invisible Patterns and Tunable Wettability

Ruilian Chen et al.

Summary: This study presents a rewritable chiral photonic paper formed by unique nano-crystals and polycations, allowing for controlled contrast in different wetting states and independent encoding of triple invisible information. High-resolution inkjet printing enables the reversible construction of full-color patterns on the film, while leveraging the characteristics of cellulose nanocrystals and liquid crystals for complex decryption processes.

Colloidal stability of cellulose nanocrystals in aqueous solutions containing monovalent, divalent, and trivalent inorganic salts

Tianchi Cao et al.

Summary: The aggregation kinetics and surface charging properties of rod-like sulfated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in aqueous suspensions with monovalent, divalent, or trivalent inorganic salts were investigated. The phenomenon of charge neutralization and charge reversal was observed with divalent and trivalent salts, impacting the colloidal stability of the CNCs significantly. These findings have important implications for applications of CNCs in nanotechnology and materials science.

Photoluminescence-enhanced cholesteric films: Coassembling copper nanoclusters with cellulose nanocrystals

Mingye Liu et al.

Summary: Iridescent and luminescent composite films were successfully fabricated by incorporating glutathione-stabilized copper nanoclusters into cellulose nanocrystal films using a coassembly strategy. The composite films displayed broadband reflection and enhanced fluorescence, with color and intensity tunable by adjusting reaction conditions. These films were utilized to create LEDs with custom colors and patterns.

A Green and Iridescent Composite of Cellulose Nanocrystals with Wide Solvent Resistance and Strong Mechanical Properties

Kai Feng et al.

Summary: In this study, iridescent and hydrophilic CNCs films were transformed into films with excellent water resistance and resistance to strongly acidic or basic aqueous solutions and various organic solvents by co-assembling with oxidized starch (OS) and tannic acid (TA). The composite films maintained structural integrity and vibrant color even after immersion in water for 24 hours. The cross-linking via hydrogen bonds with tannic acid significantly improved solvent resistance and mechanical properties of CNCs films, expanding their applications in harsh conditions.
