Taming the Photonic Behavior of Laser Dyes Through Specific and Dynamic Self‐Assembly onto Cellulose Nanocrystals

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) display a set of unique properties such as surface charge, nanometric size, and giant dipole moment that have not been considered so far to tame the luminescent properties of organic dyes upon soft and hard photoexcitation. Herein, the first comprehensive analysis on the photonic behavior of laser dyes adsorbed onto CNCs through physically dynamic driving forces is reported. By systematically varying the solvent,...
