Research Abstract |
Surface of the nematic ordered cellulose (NOC) with uniaxial molecular orientation was successfully chemically-modified by using surface-initiated living radical polymerization. The polymer layer immobilized on the NOC surface possessed a topographical structure on nano-scale based on the ordered pattern of the NOC surface. The surface modified NOC would be applied as a novel scaffold with novel functions different from the original NOC.
