Hybrid Polymer-Cellulose Nanocrystal Suspensions as Smart Materials

摘要

1. Properties of constituents are not additive 2. Interesting behaviors and/or synergy arise in ways that cannot be predicted from its constituents. 3. Often self-organizes into mesoscopic physical structures. 4. Properties and interactions of these mesoscopic structures may determine the macroscopic behavior of the material. 5. It has two important futures: Complexity and Flexibility 6. Therefore they are also called as "complex fluids".
