Inkjet Printed Photonic Cellulose Nanocrystal Patterns
Advanced Materials, 2023 AbstractNaturally‐sourced cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are elongated, birefringent nanoparticles that can undergo cholesteric self‐assembly in water to produce vibrant, structurally colored films. As such, they are an ideal candidate for use as sustainable and cost‐effective inks in the printing of scalable photonic coatings and bespoke patterns ...
