Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research was directed toward the design and composition of functional anisotropic materials based on cellulosic polysaccharides by controlling their characteristics of molecular assembly in combination with other polymeric/inorganic ingredients. The successful examples included miscible blends of cellulose ester/synthetic polymer applicable to optical films, cellulose nanocrystal sheets oriented variously by mechanical or magnetic force, polysaccharide-iron oxide nanohybrids showing anisotropic response to the external magnetic stimuli, calcium carbonate-mineralized polymer composites with cellulosics providing a chiral nematic mesomorphic structure, thermotropic liquid crystals of novel cellulose derivatives having an imidazolium group in the side chains, and so forth.
