Cellulose, the basic biopolymer of plants, has unique optical characteristics due to its
inherent birefringence. In this review, we summarize reported birefringence values for …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are biobased colloidal nanorods that have unlocked new
opportunities in the area of sustainable functional nanomaterials including structural films …

Cellulose-derived nanomaterial building blocks, including cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs),
have become increasingly important in sustainable materials development. However, the …

The present work focuses on the characterization of the macroscopic optical anisotropy of
cellulose nanocomposite multilayer thin films prepared by grazing incidence spraying. The …

Mesomorphic ceramic films comprising uniaxially oriented short nanorods with a modest
aspect ratio are desired for a wide range of applications, including waveplates requiring …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) derived from native cellulose can self-assemble into liquid
crystals (LCs) and preserve the LC alignment in solid films that are attractive for the …

Anisotropic plasmonic films are a desirable material for many optoelectronic applications.
Here, we propose a method to align silver nanowires (AgNWs) with the help of uniaxial …
