SANS study of mixed cholesteric cellulose nanocrystal – gold nanorod suspensions

The combination of rheology and small angle neutron scattering enables new insights into shear induced changes in the order parameter of lyotropic cellulose nanocrystal dispersions; this technique has broad applicability to other lyotropic nanomaterial dispersions.

Assembly Behavior

The single-chain properties and self-assembly behavior in dilute solution of olefin block copolymers obtained by chain-shuttling technology and consisting of alternating crystallizable and amorphous ethylene/1-octene blocks were investigated by pinhole and focusing small-angle neutron scattering techniques, optical microscopy in bright-field and crossed-polarizer modes, and differential scanning calorimetry. The complex hydrocarbon soluble (precipitant free) macro-aggregates formed with decreasing temperature are characterized by spherulitic textures. The spherulites yield, on one hand, a morphology that depends on the chain structure properties and, on the other hand, multiple structural levels with a hierarchical organization that ranges from 10 Å up to tens of micrometres. This morphology displays peculiarities dictated by the polydisperse character of these materials.
