Functional biophotonic materials with tailored twisting organization
Abstract
Next-generation bio-derived materials for applications in challenging environment and under space, time, and power constraints require them to adapt to external stimuli to improve their performance and being light-weight, smart, and multi-functional capable of adapting to their environment. Those tasks call for high-performance structural composites with multifunctional capabilities for chiroptical sensing, selective biosensing, optical communication, and optical encryption. In this context, biopolymers demonstrate large potential. Yet, despite the growing interest in nanocellulose-based materials, control over the nanoscale orientation in large volumes of the materials as well as their photonic properties is limited.
