Ordered Alignment of Liquid Crystalline Graphene Fluoride for Significantly Enhancing Thermal Conductivities of Liquid Crystalline Polyimide Composite Films

Kunpeng Ruan et al.

Summary: In this study, liquid crystalline modification was performed on graphene fluoride (LC-GeF) to achieve ordered alignment, and a thermally conductive liquid crystalline polyimide (LC-PI) matrix was utilized to fabricate thermally conductive LC-GeF/LC-PI composite films. These films exhibited significantly improved thermal conductivity, insulation, mechanical, and thermal properties compared to normal PI films and LC-PI films.

Green Topochemical Esterification Effects on the Supramolecular Structure of Chitin Nanocrystals: Implications for Highly Stable Pickering Emulsions

Chiara Magnani et al.

Summary: In this study, chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) were extracted using a waterborne topochemical one-pot acid hydrolysis/Fischer esterification method, and their surfaces were simultaneously decorated with lactate or butyrate moieties. The modified ChNC colloids showed a gel-like phase, disrupting the formation of liquid crystalline clusters. Pickering emulsions prepared from lyophilized nanocrystals demonstrated that the individualization of the modified ChNCs can be regenerated from the dry state.

Monolithic Chiral Nematic Organization of Cellulose Nanocrystals under Capillary Confinement

Minkyu Kim et al.

Summary: Bioenabled crack-free chiral nematic films were successfully prepared using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in a capillary confinement with specific modifications. The modified CNC/TOPA/PEG films demonstrated improved mechanical performance, consistent vivid iridescence, and enhanced circular polarization. The addition of a small amount of TOPA proved to be crucial in achieving the best performance in preventing cracks.
