This review considers the most recent developments in supramolecular and supraparticle
structures obtained from natural, renewable biopolymers as well as their disassembly and …

Widespread concerns over the impact of human activity on the environment have resulted in
a desire to replace artificial functional materials with naturally derived alternatives. As such …

Nanofibrillar materials, such as cellulose, chitin and silk, are highly ordered architectures,
formed through the self-assembly of repetitive building blocks into higher-order structures …

By controlling the interaction of biological building blocks at the nanoscale, natural photonic
nanostructures have been optimized to produce intense coloration. Inspired by such …

There is an emerging quest for lightweight materials with excellent mechanical properties
and economic production, while still being sustainable and functionalizable. They could form …

It is inherently challenging to recapitulate the precise hierarchical architectures found
throughout nature (such as in wood, antler, bone, and silk) using synthetic bottom‐up …

In this review we introduce recent advances in the development of cellulose nanomaterials
and the construction of high order structures by applying some principles of colloid and …

Stimulus‐responsive materials that display circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) have
attracted great attention for application in chiral sensors and smart displays. However, due to …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), produced by the acid hydrolysis of wood, cotton or other
cellulose-rich sources, constitute a renewable nanosized raw material with a broad range of …

Nanocellulose fibrils are ubiquitous in nature and nanotechnologies but their mesoscopic
structural assembly is not yet fully understood. Here we study the structural features of rod …
