Widespread concerns over the impact of human activity on the environment have resulted in
a desire to replace artificial functional materials with naturally derived alternatives. As such …

Nanocellulose is at the cutting edge of current research owing to its highly useful features,
such as abundance and renewability of its source, biocompatibility, nanoscale dimension …

Cellulose nanocrystals are renewable plant-based colloidal particles capable of forming
photonic films by solvent-evaporation-driven self-assembly. So far, the cellulose nanocrystal …

Some of the most abundant biomass on earth is sequestered in fibrous biopolymers like
cellulose, chitin, and silk. These types of natural materials offer unique and striking …

By controlling the interaction of biological building blocks at the nanoscale, natural photonic
nanostructures have been optimized to produce intense coloration. Inspired by such …

3D printing of renewable building blocks like cellulose nanocrystals offers an attractive
pathway for fabricating sustainable structures. Here, viscoelastic inks composed of …

In this review we introduce recent advances in the development of cellulose nanomaterials
and the construction of high order structures by applying some principles of colloid and …

Pickering emulsion, which is an emulsion stabilized by solid particles, offers a wide range of
potential applications because it generally provides a more stable system than surfactant …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) derived from biomass spontaneously organize into a helical
arrangement, termed a chiral nematic structure. This structure mimics the organization of …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) self-assemble and can be flow-assembled to liquid
crystalline orders in a water suspension. The orders range from nano-to macroscale with the …
