Structure and transformation of tactoids in cellulose nanocrystal suspensions
Cellulose nanocrystals obtained from natural sources are of great interest for many applications. In water, cellulose nanocrystals form a liquid crystalline phase whose hierarchical structure is retained in solid films after drying. Although tactoids, one of the most primitive components of liquid crystals, are thought to have a significant role in the evolution of this phase, they have evaded ...
متن کاملShear-SANS study of single-walled carbon nanotube suspensions
We report a combined shear small-angle neutron scattering (shear-SANS) and rheo-optical study of dilute aqueous suspensions of SWNT bundles dispersed using ionic surfactants. Both shear-SANS and flow birefringence reveal weak shear-induced alignment of SWNT bundles along the direction of flow. In terms of a nematic order parameter, the degree of alignment is found to increase with the shear rat...
متن کاملChiral Nematic Structure of Cellulose Nanocrystal Suspensions and Films; Polarized Light and Atomic Force Microscopy
Cellulosic liquid crystalline solutions and suspensions form chiral nematic phases that show a rich variety of optical textures in the liquid crystalline state. These ordered structures may be preserved in solid films prepared by evaporation of solvent or suspending medium. Film formation from aqueous suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) was investigated by polarized light microscopy, op...

متن کاملCellulose/gold nanocrystal hybrids via an ionic liquid/aqueous precipitation route.
Injection of a mixture of HAuCl(4) and cellulose dissolved in the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [Bmim]Cl into aqueous NaBH4 leads to colloidal gold nanoparticle/cellulose hybrid precipitates. This process is a model example for a very simple and generic approach towards (noble) metal/cellulose hybrids, which could find applications in sensing, sterile filtration, or as ...
