Abstract

Cellulose Nanocrystals Rod-like cellulose nanocrystal aqueous colloidal suspensions can be prepared from eucalyptus kraft pulp. In article number 2108227, Maria Helena Godinho and co-workers show the formation of a liquid crystalline (LC) phase atop an isotropic phase, inverted from the typical high-density LC phase. The bounciness of the particles is attributed to the presence of air. The behavior observed is an indication that the LC phase is an indirect way to reveal cellulose nanocrystal/water interactions.
