Tuning the assembly of cellulose nanocrystals in spin coating Coimbra COST FP 1105 meeting 08 & 09 of May 2014 Dr Peyre Jessie
Whatare 2D structures? • Supported ultrathin films (<100 nm thickness) • Submonolayers substrate coating Submonolayer structures Ultrathin film – full coverage Individual molecules Patterned structures Islands Dr Peyre Jessie
Motivation: Why 2D structures? • Modelling aspect • -defined chemistry • - defined morphology • (2) Functional materials • - sensors • - transistors • - photonic devices • - receptors • - templates for nanomaterials • etc. Dr Peyre Jessie
Ourmotivation: How 2D structures? Cellulose / PS / gold nanoparticle films[1] Cellulose / cellulose triacetate[2] • Plant-based materials form 2D structures but how? [1] Taajamaa. Chem. Commun. 49 (2013) 1318. [2] Taajamaa. Soft Matter 7 (2011) 10386 Dr Peyre Jessie
