Abstract: We investigated conditions to prepare cellulosic cholesteric liquid crystalline (ChLC) films in order to accomplish dual mechanochromism, i.e., colour control and circular dichroic inversion upon mechanical stimulus, at room temperature. Flexible propionylated hydroxypropyl cellulose (PHPC)… read more here.
