DOI: 10.1039/c7tc05523d
Abstract: Fabrication of nanostructures with multiple functions templated by cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) has become very attractive, and chiral structures fabricated via evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) have become particularly important for building photonic films. However, films obtained so… read more here.
