SMP Seminar: Dr Steve Huband (Warwick), X-ray Diffraction Research Technology Platform

Date

Dr Steve Huband X-ray Diffraction Research Technology Platform, University of Warwick. Abstract: Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a useful technique for studying the size, shape and morphology of nanomaterials across a wide range of research areas. This includes particles/voids and nanoscale structural features. Dr Huband joined the University of Warwick X-ray diffraction facility in...

Watching Paper Dry: Making Photonic Structures from Cellulose Nanocrystals

Date

Professor Mark MacLachlan Abstract: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) obtained from paper or cotton are of great interest for many applications.1 In water, CNCs spontaneously form a chiral nematic lyotropic liquid crystalline phase, which can be preserved in dried films. The helicoidal structural organization of the CNCs in these films resembles the Bouligand structure of chitin found...
