Abstract

Liquid crystal hydroglass: under a specific solution environment, aqueous suspensions of cellulose colloidal rods phase separate into a colloid-rich attractive glass matrix and a coexisting liquid crystal phase. This structure allows control over reversibly orientating the colloidal rods through shear forces, which achieves a persistent flow-programmable directional order to the liquid crystal phase.
