We have discovered that the self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) into chiral nematic phases varies significantly with the substrate and evaporation rate. These variables allow the reflectance peak of iridescent chiral nematic films of CNCs and mesoporous silica templated from CNCs to be tuned over a wide range of wavelengths.
我们发现，纤维素纳米晶体（CNC）自组装成手性向列相的过程与基底和蒸发速率有很大的关系。这些变量可以使由 CNC 模板化的各向异性手性纳米纤维和介孔二氧化硅的彩虹色反射峰在很宽的波长范围内进行调节。
