Macroscopic mapping of the linear in-plane anisotropy of nanocellulosic thin films by Mueller matrix polarimetry

Randy Mujica et al.

Summary: The present work characterizes the macroscopic optical anisotropy of cellulose nanocomposite multilayer thin films using grazing incidence spraying. Mueller matrix polarimetry is used to investigate the polarization properties of these films, which consist of in-plane aligned cellulose nanofibrils embedded in a polyelectrolyte multilayer. Linear birefringence is the predominant polarization property resulting from the unidirectional organization of the cellulose nanofibrils, and the Mueller matrix decomposition allows the determination of their actual structural birefringence. Modeling the sample as an effective medium provides an expression that describes its linear birefringence as a function of various parameters. This nondestructive technique is of great interest for optoelectronic applications.

Chiral Liquid Crystalline Properties of Cellulose Nanocrystals: Fundamentals and Applications

Aref Abbasi Moud

Summary: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can create films with iridescent structural colors through an independent self-assembly process controlled by evaporation. The self-forming chiral nematic structures and environmental safety of CNCs make them simple to make and treat. This review focuses on the colloidal characteristics of CNC particles, their behavior during liquid crystal and gelling formation, and their applications. Controlling factors such as CNC aspect ratio, surface chemistry, concentration, and drying process conditions is crucial for producing reliable materials for various applications.

Shear-Coated Linear Birefringent and Chiral Cellulose Nanocrystal Films Prepared from Non-Sonicated Suspensions with Different Storage Time

Olga Rubi Juarez-Rivera et al.

Summary: Nanocelluloses are promising materials for creating structured films with unique optical properties through different preparation techniques. This study investigated the fabrication of birefringent and chiral films from non-sonicated CNC suspensions using a shear-coating method, showing the evolution of suspensions from a gel-like shear-thinning fluid to isotropic and chiral nematic liquid crystalline phases. The films prepared from non-sonicated fresh CNC suspensions exhibit birefringence, while those from stored suspensions reflect left-handed polarized light, with quantification achieved using a Mueller matrix formalism.
