Switching the reflection in chiral nematic mesoporous silica and organosilica films
Recently, a new class of free-standing chiral nematic mesoporous silica and organosilica films was developed using nanocrystalline cellulose as a template. Due to their unique structures these films are iridescent, and by varying synthetic conditions it has been shown that this iridescence can be tu...
