Dynamic Structural Colors in Cholesteric Cellulose Composites: Achieving Spatial and Temporal Control

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
By combining static and time‐resolved optical, structural, and rheological techniques, we demonstrate that the blue‐shift upon solidification of ethyl cellulose‐acrylic acid mesophases corresponds to the reorientation of cholesteric domains. Modulating the mesophase chain mobility and photopolymerization reaction kinetics enables solid chiral nematic ...
