Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Sustainable Materials

Background:

  • Cellulose-based nanocomposites offer potential for sustainable functional materials.
  • Current fabrication methods lack precise sub-micrometer structural control, limiting nanocomposite applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an additive manufacturing process for precise structural control of cellulose nanofibrils.
  • To create thin films with tunable helicoidal arrangements of cellulose nanofibrils.

Main Methods:

  • Combined spray-assisted alignment of cellulose nanofibrils with layer-by-layer assembly.
  • Utilized an additive manufacturing approach with controlled alignment direction for each cellulose layer.
  • Verified helicoidal structure using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.

Main Results:

  • Achieved thin films with rationally selected helicoidal arrangements of cellulose nanofibrils.
  • Demonstrated tunability of handedness and pitch of chiral structures by controlling spray parameters.
  • Verified structural chirality through circular dichroism measurements.

Conclusions:

  • The developed spray-assisted layer-by-layer additive manufacturing enables precise nanoscale structural control in cellulose nanocomposites.
  • This method allows for the design of complex nanocomposite architectures with tunable properties.
  • Enables novel designs for damage-resistant and optical filtering composite films.
