Structure and transformation of tactoids in cellulose nanocrystal suspensions

Cellulose nanocrystals suspensions self-assemble into cholesteric liquid crystalline droplets, namely tactoids, which then condense into helical structures upon drying. Here, Wang et al. capture the structural evolution of this nucleation process by trapping and protecting tactoids in a polymer matr...
