Abstract

Abstract : A dip-coating method is designed to assemble cellulose nanocrystals into a uniaxial thin film for coaligning single-walled carbon nanotubes. Abstract : A solution-based, low-cost dip-coating method was explored to assemble cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) into a uniaxial thin film, as confirmed by multiple microscopic tools on multiple length scales. Furthermore, this approach is readily modified for the coassembly of CNCs and a tough 1D nanoitem – single-walled carbon nanotubes into a uniaxial array.
