Effect of Trace Electrolyte on Liquid Crystal Type of Cellulose Microcrystals
Abstract
The rodlike microcrystal suspension prepared by sulfuric acid hydrolysis of bacterial cellulose was found to undergo spontaneous nematic phase separation after complete desalination. This phase separation was preceded by a birefringent glassy-like state for about 1 week. Addition of trace electrolyte (<1 mM NaCl) caused remarkable changes in phase separation behavior; i.e., the separation was complete in 2 days and the anisotropic phase became chiral nematic. This phenomenon can be explained by the change in the effective particle shape, from cylindrical to the twisted rod as a result of screening of surface charge.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
