title: Chiral nematic cellulose-gold nanoparticle composites from mesoporous photonic cellulose.
abstract: Gold nanoparticles (NPs) have been loaded into mesoporous photonic cellulose (MPC) films. The NPs show a low polydispersity and a nanoparticle-based plasmonic chiroptical activity with potential for novel sensing materials.
