Nanocelluloses (ie, bacterial nanocellulose, cellulose nanocrystals, and cellulose
nanofibrils) are cellulose‐based materials with at least one dimension in the nanoscale …

Application of green and renewable all bio-based resources on functional nanomaterials
has been of much interest, but often limited by their complex supramolecular construction …

We report on the formation of water-in-water liquid crystal emulsions with permeable
colloidal assemblies. Rodlike cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) spontaneously self-assemble …

Liquid crystals (LCs) are fluids within which molecules exhibit long-range orientational
order, leading to anisotropic properties such as optical birefringence and curvature elasticity …

Patterned micro/nanomaterials display efficient light management capabilities owing to their
control of light propagation within multiscale periodic structures. Here a hierarchical …

Here, we describe the all-aqueous bicontinuous emulsions with cholesteric liquid crystal
domains through hierarchical colloidal self-assembly of nanoparticles. This is achieved by …

Incorporating photonic crystals with nanoplasmonic building blocks gives rise to novel
optoelectronic properties that promise designing advanced multifunctional materials and …

Wrought by nature's wondrous hand, surface topographies are discovered on all length
scales in living creatures and serve a variety of functions. Inspired by floral striations, here …

Photonic crystals based on plasmonic or dielectric periodic structures have attracted
considerable interest owing to their capabilities to control light–matter interactions with …

From drying blood to oil paint, the developing of a glassy phase from colloids is observed on
a daily basis. Colloidal glass is solid soft matter that consists of two intertwined phases: a …
