Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose nanocrystal-based materials: from liquid crystal self-assembly and glass formation to multifunctional thin films
Jan P. F. Lagerwall,Christina Schütz,Michaela Salajkova,JungHyun Noh,Ji Hyun Park,Giusy Scalia,Lennart Bergström +6 more
TL;DR: The 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 envisaged uses as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding nanocellulose chirality and structure–properties relationship at the single fibril level
Ivan Usov,Gustav Nyström,Jozef Adamcik,Stephan Handschin,Christina Schütz,Christina Schütz,Andreas Fall,Lennart Bergström,Raffaele Mezzenga +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence of right-handed chirality is observed on both bundles and on single fibrils, and statistical analysis of contours from microscopy images shows a non-Gaussian kink angle distribution, which is inconsistent with a structure consisting of alternating amorphous and crystalline domains along the contour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rod Packing in Chiral Nematic Cellulose Nanocrystal Dispersions Studied by Small-Angle X-ray Scattering and Laser Diffraction
Christina Schütz,Michael Agthe,Andreas Fall,Korneliya Gordeyeva,Valentina Guccini,Michaela Salajkova,Tomás S. Plivelic,Jan P. F. Lagerwall,German Salazar-Alvarez,Lennart Bergström +9 more
TL;DR: The dependence of the twisting on the volume fraction was related to the increase in the magnitude of the repulsive interactions between the charged rods as the average separation distance decreases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macroscopic control of helix orientation in films dried from cholesteric liquid-crystalline cellulose nanocrystal suspensions.
Ji Hyun Park,JungHyun Noh,Christina Schütz,German Salazar-Alvarez,Giusy Scalia,Lennart Bergström,Jan P. F. Lagerwall +6 more
TL;DR: A method for guiding the helix during film formation is introduced, which yields dramatically improved uniformity, as confirmed by using polarizing optical and scanning electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon aerogels from bacterial nanocellulose as anodes for lithium ion batteries
TL;DR: In this paper, carbon aerogels with large open pores and high surface area are fabricated via pyrolysis of a readily available natural resource, e.g., bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) aerogel.
