  • Abstract
    Chiral plasmonic films have been prepared by incorporating gold nanorods (NRs) in a macroscopic cholesteric film formed by self-assembled cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Composite NR-CNC films revealed strong and tunable plasmonic chiroptical activity, dependent on the photonic properties of the CNC host and plasmonic properties of the NRs1.
