• Chemistry and Applications of Nanocrystalline Cellulose and its Derivatives: a Nanotechnology Perspective (2011, neutral): “A recent discovery of free-standing mesoporous silica films with tunable chiral nematic structures was made by the research group of MacLachlan at the University of British Columbia (Shopsowitz et al., 2010).”
• SEM imaging of chiral nematic films cast from cellulose nanocrystal suspensions (2012, background): “…assembly of a silica sol–gel precursor, and then calcining at elevated temperatures, a porous inorganic silica with a chiral nematic distribution of voids gives a glass with reflection bands (Shopsowitz et al. 2010), similar to those observed for cellulose nanocrystal films (Revol et al. 1992).”
