Abstract:
      Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) possess unique nanoscale dimensions and high surface energy. Through processes such as evaporation-induced self-assembly, CNC could be used to construct chiral nematic (cholesteric) photonic crystal materials, which held great potential for applications in smart sensing and anti-counterfeiting. However, limitations such as insufficient assembly rates, low precision in microstructural control, and a lack of diversity in functional modification systems had restricted the application scenarios of CNC-based smart chiral photonic materials. This paper took the structure-property relationship of “preparation process-microstructure-macroscopic performance” as the central theme to systematically summarize the evolution patterns and key influencing factors of the chiral nematic structure in CNC. It provided an in-depth explanation of the energy dissipation mechanism and charge shielding effect resulting from molecular intercalation, as well as the regulatory mechanisms of these two effects on the mechanical strength and color response performance of the CNC-based smart chiral photonic materials. Besides, this paper summarized feasible approaches for multi-parameter cooperative optimization to overcome the limitations of existing technologies, providing a theoretical foundation for the industrial research and development of CNC-based smart chiral photonic materials in the fields of flexible wearables and smart packaging.
