HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Thomas G. Parton from the University of have published the research work: Chiral self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals is driven by crystallite bundles, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
- how: The increase in chiral nematic pitch due to sonication has been observed for suspensions of polysaccharide nanocrystals from numerous sources including CNCs from cotton23 and wood pulp13 as well as chitin nanocrystals42 suggesting that the chiral dopant model can be applied to understanding the chirality of these systems43.
SUMMARY
The strength of the chiral interactions in CNC suspensions can . . .
