Description

Supporting data for the article titled "Hierarchical Self-Assembly of Cellulose Nanocrystals in a Confined Geometry". The article was accepted for publication in 2016 in the journal "ACS Nano". Electronic supporting Information is available from the publisher (ACS). The data is provided with a description in pdf and a structured set of seven folders compressed in zip, each correlating to a specific data type presented in the published article. The spreadsheet used to plot Figure S12 in the ESI is also included. Folder 1: Phase diagram - containing png of the pictures, as well as a txt, xlsx and pdf of the measurements (Figure S12). Folder 2: Polarised optical microscopy (POM) - containing png pictures with scale-bars Folder 3: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) - original images in tif (figure S11) Folder 4: Cholesteric pitch determination - data in xlsx and pdf of the Figures 3, S9, S10, S16 Folder 5: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) - svg of the AFM and png of the length distribution analysis (Figure S1) Folder 6: Droplet size determination - data in xlsx and pdf of the droplet size distribution (Figure S17) and evaporation rate (Figure S18) Folder 7: Simulation of cholesteric droplets - png of the simulation with computing parameters in txt (Figure 2), data in xlsx and pdf of optical indices from Bruggeman method (Figure S19), matlab folder with codes in m format.
