Abstract:Chiral architectures,
one of the key structural features of natural
systems ranging from the nanoscale to macroscale, are an infinite
source of inspiration for functional materials. Researchers have been,
and still are, strongly pursuing the goal of constructing such structures
with renewable and sustainable building blocks via simple and efficient
strategies. With the merits of high sustainability, renewability,
and the ability to self-assemble into chiral nematic structures in
aqueous suspensions that can be… Show more
