Cellulose nanocrystals: mind the microgap in iridescent Cellulose Nanocrystal Films

Solid films prepared from cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) present remarkable optical properties: iridescence,[1] selective reflection of left circularly polarized (LCP) light, and transmission of right circularly polarized (RCP) light.[2] The same phenomenon has been observed in certain insect cuticle...
