Effects of Ionic Strength on the Isotropic−Chiral Nematic Phase Transition of Suspensions of Cellulose Crystallites
Abstract
The formation of ordered phases of acid-hydrolyzed cellulose suspensions was studied as a function of cellulose crystallite concentration and added electrolyte (HCl, NaCl, and KCl) concentrations. A chiral nematic phase formed when the suspension concentration was higher than 5.14 × 10 -6 nm -3 in water. For biphasic samples, the cellulose concentrations in both isotropic and anisotropic phases increase with the total suspension concentration and with added electrolyte. The experimental results were compared with the predictions of the theory of Stroobants, Lekkerkerker, and Odijk for the phase separation of charged rods. The suspensions were not stable at electrolyte concentrations sufficiently high to allow complete evaluation of the electrostatic contribution to the interparticle interactions, but the general behavior was in line with theoretical predictions. The chiral nematic pitch of the anisotropic phase decreased with increasing crystallite concentration and with added electrolyte concentration. Apparently, a decrease in double layer thickness increases the chiral interactions between the crystallites.

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.
