Chemistry Seminar: Maria Helena Godinho -A cellulose-based liquid crystal pool for cellulose nanocrystals

Thursday, June 11, 2015 10:00to11:00
Pulp & Paper Building Room 113, 3420 rue University, Montreal, QC, H3A 2A7, CA

Cellulose and its derivatives can be at the origin of liquid crystalline (LC) networks. Films produced from LC solutions can be manipulated by the action of moisture allowing, for instance the development of a soft motor driven by humidity.聽 Cellulose Nano Crystals (CNC), which combine cellulose properties with the specific characteristics of nanoscale materials, can also be at the origin of liquid-crystalline chiral nematic phases. Considering the liquid crystalline features that both, cellulose derivatives and CNC, can acquire the effect of the CNC into the cellulose-based matrix is addressed and investigated by coupling Rheology with NMR spectroscopy - Rheo-NMR.
