Patterning of Nanocrystalline Cellulose Gel Phase by Electrodissolution of a Metallic Electrode

At high concentration or in the presence of electrolytes and organic solvents, solutions of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can form gels exhibiting optical properties similar to the ones of liquid crystal phases. In an attempt to pattern such a gel phase, we have studied the electrodissolution of a m...
