Abstract
Chiral architectures, one of the key structural features of natural systems ranging from the nanoscale to macroscale, are an infinite source of inspiration for functional materials. Researchers have been, and still are, strongly pursuing the goal of constructing such structures with renewable and sustainable building blocks via simple and efficient strategies. With the merits of high sustainability, renewability, and the ability to self-assemble into chiral nematic structures in aqueous suspensions that can be preserved in the solid state, polysaccharide nanocrystals (PNs) including cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) offer opportunities to reach the target. We herein provide a comprehensive review that focuses on the development of CNCs and ChNCs for the use in advanced functional materials. First, the introduction of CNCs and ChNCs, and cellulose- and chitin-formed chiral nematic organizations in the natural world, are given. Then, the self-assembly process of such PNs and the factors influencing this process are comprehensively discussed. After that, we showcased the emerging applications of the self-assembled chiral nematic structures of CNCs and ChNCs. Finally, this review concludes with perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in this field.

Abstract
The proliferation of misleading information and counterfeit products in conjunction with technical progress presents substantial worldwide issues. To address the issue of counterfeiting, many tactics, such as the use of luminous anticounterfeiting systems, have been investigated. Nevertheless, traditional fluorescent compounds have a restricted effectiveness. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), known for their renewable nature and outstanding qualities, present an excellent opportunity to develop intelligent, optically active materials formed due to their self-assembly behavior and stimuli response. CNCs and their derivatives-based self-assemblies allow for the creation of adaptable luminous materials that may be used to prevent counterfeiting. These materials integrate the photophysical characteristics of optically active components due to their stimuli-responsive behavior, enabling their use in fibers, labels, films, hydrogels, and inks. Despite substantial attention, existing materials frequently fall short of practical criteria due to limited knowledge and poor performance comparisons. This review aims to provide information on the latest developments in anticounterfeit materials based on stimuli-responsive CNCs and derivatives. It also includes the scope of artificial intelligence (AI) in the near future. It will emphasize the potential uses of these materials and encourage future investigation in this rapidly growing area of study.

Abstract
Combining metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with liquid crystals to construct liquid crystalline MOFs (LCMOF) offers the advantage of endowing and enhancing their functionality, yet it remains a challenging task. Herein, we report chiral liquid crystalline MOF (CLCMOF) thin films by cross-linking the chiral liquid crystals (CLC) with MOF thin films to realize highly circular polarization luminescence (CPL) performance with photo and thermal switching. By layer by layer cross-linking stilbene-containing CLC with stilbene-based MOF (CLC/MOF) thin film, the CLCMOF thin films were successfully obtained after UV irradiation due to the abundant [2 + 2] photocycloaddition. The resulted CLCMOF thin films have strong chirality, obvious photochromic fluorescent, and strong CPL performance (the asymmetry factor reaches to 0.4). Furthermore, due to the photochromic fluorescent MOF and thermotropic CLC, the CPL can be reversed and red-shifted after heating and UV irradiation treatment, showing photo- and thermal CPL switching. Such MOF-based CPL thin films with photo/thermal CPL switching were prepared to patterns and codes for the demonstration of potential application in advanced information anticounterfeit and encryption. This study not only opens a strategy for developing chiral thin films combining MOFs and liquid crystals but also offers a new route to achieve CPL switching in optical applications.

Abstract
Widespread concerns over the impact of human activity on the environment have resulted in a desire to replace artificial functional materials with naturally derived alternatives. As such, polysaccharides are drawing increasing attention due to offering a renewable, biodegradable, and biocompatible feedstock for functional nanomaterials. In particular, nanocrystals of cellulose and chitin have emerged as versatile and sustainable building blocks for diverse applications, ranging from mechanical reinforcement to structural coloration. Much of this interest arises from the tendency of these colloidally stable nanoparticles to self-organize in water into a lyotropic cholesteric liquid crystal, which can be readily manipulated in terms of its periodicity, structure, and geometry. Importantly, this helicoidal ordering can be retained into the solid-state, offering an accessible route to complex nanostructured films, coatings, and particles. In this review, the process of forming iridescent, structurally colored films from suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is summarized and the mechanisms underlying the chemical and physical phenomena at each stage in the process explored. Analogy is then drawn with chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs), allowing for key differences to be critically assessed and strategies toward structural coloration to be presented. Importantly, the progress toward translating this technology from academia to industry is summarized, with unresolved scientific and technical questions put forward as challenges to the community.

Abstract
In this work, structural color inks with practical significance in anti-counterfeiting applications have been successfully manufactured by facilely mixing SiO2@PDA@PHEMA hybrid colloidal particles with the mediated molecules of HEMA. The appropriate rheological properties of these photonic inks provide high viscosity and self-supporting performance, ensuring sufficient interaction between particles to form short-range ordered arrays during the mixing and shearing process and thus generating non-iridescent colors. The strong and broad uniform light absorption capabilities of polydopamine (PDA) not only suppress the incoherent multiple scattering of the photonic inks, but also impart surprising optical anti-counterfeiting properties, i.e. black color under ambient illumination and dazzling reflective coloration under strong illumination. With the 3D printing technique, complicated angle-independent patterns with visualization and high fidelity are expected to be fabricated with the as-prepared photonic inks for real-life applications in smart anti-counterfeiting labels, thus encoding encrypted information and selective color rendering accessories.

Abstract
Abstract3D photonic crystals (PCs) have attracted extensive attention due to their unique optical properties. However, fabricating 3D PCs structure by 3D printing colloidal particles is limited by control of assembly under a fast-printing speed. Here, we employ continuous digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing strategy with hydrogen bonds assisted colloidal inks for fabricating well-assembled 3D PCs structures. Stable dispersion of colloidal particles inside UV-curable system induced by hydrogen bonding and suction force induced by continuous curing manner cooperatively realize the simultaneous macroscopic printing and microscopic particle assembly, which endows volumetric color property. Structural color can be well regulated by controlling the particle diameter and printing speed, through which various complex 3D structures with desired structural color distribution and optical light-guide properties are acquired. This 3D color construction approach shows great potential in customized jewelry accessories, decoration and optical device preparation, and will innovate the development of structural color.

Abstract
Chiral nematic papers (CNPs) with mesopores structure based on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were fabricated successfully via a swelling and freeze-drying method. The order of the original chiral nematic cellulose nanocrystals film was preserved in CNPs, which was proved by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), polarized optical microscopy (POM) measurements and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The CNPs exhibited excellent optical responsive properties to different solvents. Inspired by this feature, a colorable ink containing amounts of gel particles was prepared by pulverizing CNPs/water mixture into a suspension. Patterns written in suspension ink with various colors can be formed when soaked with different solvents. Moreover, CNPs displayed an irreversible color response to compression. Additionally, the hydrophilicity of CNPs was tuned by polyethyleneimine. Modified CNPs exhibited different colors under the identical solvent environment when compared to the original one. Aqueous PEI can be used as an ink to depict responsive photonic patterns on CNPs.

Abstract
It is inherently challenging to recapitulate the precise hierarchical architectures found throughout nature (such as in wood, antler, bone, and silk) using synthetic bottom-up fabrication strategies. However, as a renewable and naturally sourced nanoscale building block, nanocellulose-both cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibrils-has gained significant research interest within this area. Altogether, the intrinsic shape anisotropy, surface charge/chemistry, and mechanical/rheological properties are some of the critical material properties leading to advanced structure-based functionality within nanocellulose-based bottom-up fabricated materials. Herein, the organization of nanocellulose into biomimetic-aligned, porous, and fibrous materials through a variety of fabrication techniques is presented. Moreover, sophisticated material structuring arising from both the alignment of nanocellulose and via specific process-induced methods is covered. In particular, design rules based on the underlying fundamental properties of nanocellulose are established and discussed as related to their influence on material assembly and resulting structure/function. Finally, key advancements and critical challenges within the field are highlighted, paving the way for the fabrication of truly advanced materials from nanocellulose.

Abstract
Color changeable photonic prints (CCPPs) show their potential applications in high-level information storage and anti-counterfeiting, but usually suffer from the complex fabrication process and limited color variation. Here, a simple and efficient method is developed to generate CCPPs with multilevel tunable color contrasts by packing the solvent responsive photonic crystals with diverse cross-linking degrees and desired way. The key to the successful fabrication is to create and control over the optical response of each part of the CCPPs through altering the cross-linking degree of PCs and thus the affinity between the CCPPs and solvents. A CCPPs based anti-fake label with the encrypted information functionality which originates from reversible color change between dried state and swelling with the mixture of acetic acid and ethanol is investigated. Compared with conventional CCPPs, the as-prepared CCPPs can reveal multistage information depending on the volume fraction of ethanol. This work provides a new insight for the simple fabrication of CCPPs and will facilitate their applications in the information protection and high-level anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
A composite film with multiple anti-counterfeiting features was demonstrated by superposing quantum dots (QDs) polymer matrix (film A) and cholesteric liquid crystal film (film B) together. The first-line and second-line anti-counterfeiting characteristics were successfully implemented by employing thermochromic, angular photochromic, and circularly polarized discoloration of film B, respectively. By initiatively utilizing the different relative positions between the fluorescence emission peak (λem) of film A and the central selective reflection wavelength (λm) of film B at different temperatures, which resulted in changes in the fluorescence spectra or the different presence of latent patterns, the most important third-line anti-counterfeiting feature was successfully achieved.

Abstract
This study addresses the inkjet printing approach for fabrication of cellulose nanocrystalline (CNC) patterns with tunable optical properties varied by the thickness of deposited layers. In particular, forming functional patterns visible only in linearly polarized light is of the primary interest. The possibility of controlling the bright iridescent color response associated with the birefringence in the chiral anisotropic structure of inkjet-printed layers of CNC with sulfo-groups (s-CNC) has been thoroughly investigated. In this connection, we have elaborated an appropriate synthesis sequence for deriving printable inks in the form of sedimentation-stable s-CNC colloids with various concentrations of solid phase and experimentally determined the optimal regimes of their inkjet printing. For this purpose, the rheological parameters and s-CNC particle concentration have also been optimized. The study is accomplished with a comprehensive optical characterization of the deposited s-CNC layers with variable thickness, drying conditions, and the polarization state. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of inkjet printing technology to perform the precise fabrication of optically active s-CNC patterns with variable optical properties. These results are particularly relevant for applications requiring special conditions of color demonstration in security printing for such as anticounterfeiting applications, polygraphy decoration printing, and color photo filters.

Abstract
Different from traditional chemical surface modification, localized modification of the reducing end groups of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), i.e. the active aldehyde groups, provides new opportunities for diverse functional applications of this renewable nanomaterial without altering its surface chemistry and properties. Numerous reviews have deeply discussed the surface modification of the hydroxyl groups of CNCs, but no critical comment has been reported on the reducing end modification approach. This review is a comprehensive summary on the modification of the CNC reducing end, presenting the reaction mechanisms and conditions, discussing the different chemical modification strategies and characterization techniques, potential applications and future challenges in this field. In addition, the comparison between surface and end modification strategies of CNCs will highlight the potential of reducing end-functionalized CNCs to be used in various applications as an alternative to traditional surface-modified CNCs, or as additional functional nanoparticles for the design of advanced functional materials.

Abstract
In this article, an alterable structural color in the reflected light of a chiral nematic imprinted film was fabricated. Bio-template nanocrystalline celluloses were applied as structural oriented templates. Selectivity of the sensor was endowed by the molecular imprinting process which applied sulfamethoxazoles (SMXs) as template molecules, urea and phenol as double functional monomers, and formaldehyde as cross-linkers. The sensor exhibited a chiral nematic blue mesoporous structure, which could selectively recognize SMXs on account of the abundant predetermined rebinding sites. Once SMXs were detected, the sensor showed a visible color variance from blue to yellow and the sensitive concentration range was from 3.9 × 10-3 to 3.9 mmol L-1. Both quantitative analyses, selective testing and recycling performance of the sensor were demonstrated. This optical response to SMXs can provide a portable, low-cost and easy-to-use strategy for the convenient detection of SMXs.

Abstract
Colour patterns based on micro-nano structure have attracted enormous research interests due to unique optical switches and smart surface applications in photonic crystal, superhydrophobic surface modification, controlled adhesion, inkjet printing, biological detection, supramolecular self-assembly, anti-counterfeiting, optical device and other fields. In traditional methods, many patterns of micro-nano structure are derived from changes of refractive index or lattice parameters. Generally, the refractive index and lattice parameters of photonic crystals are processed by common solvents, salts or reactive monomers under specific electric, magnetic and stress conditions. This review focuses on the recent developments in the fabrication of micro-nano structures for patterns including styles, materials, methods and characteristics. It summarized the advantages and disadvantages of inkjet printing, angle-independent photonic crystal, self-assembled photonic crystals by magnetic field force, gravity, electric field, inverse opal photonic crystal, electron beam etching, ion beam etching, laser holographic lithography, imprinting technology and surface wrinkle technology, etc. This review will provide a summary on designing micro-nano patterns and details on patterns composed of photonic crystals by surface wrinkles technology and plasmonic micro-nano technology. In addition, colour patterns as switches are fabricated with good stability and reproducibility in anti-counterfeiting application. Finally, there will be a conclusion and an outlook on future perspectives.

Abstract
Invisible photonic crystal (PC) pattern with encrypted and discoverable information is potentially useful for anti-counterfeiting labels, but it is still a big challenge to realize strict invisibility, fast response, and convenient triggering. Here, a new kind of soaking-revealed invisible PC pattern is fabricated by the regional coating of "ethylene glycol-ethanol" ink on a collapsed inverse opaline macroporous polyurethane (IOM-PU) film, followed by a quick thermal treatment. During the above process, wet heating retains the collapsed but recoverable IOM structure, but dry heating disables the recovery of ordered IOM structure due to the adhesion of macropore walls, which render the "pattern" and the "background" with different optical responses to the solvent. In the dry state, the pattern was invisible because both the collapsed IOM-PU film and the adhesive PU film are colorless and transparent. Once the sample is soaked in ethanol-water mixtures, the invisible pattern appears immediately because only the "wet-heated" region recovers the ordered macroporous structure and shows color, which forms a significant contrast in color to the "dry-heated" region. Compared to the previously invisible PC pattern, the current material has many superior properties, such as high invisibility, large color contrast in showing, excellent recyclability, and good toughness in bending and stretching.

Abstract
Developing actuators with multi-responsibility, large deformation, and predefined shapes is critical for the application of actuators in the field of artificial intelligence. Herein, we report the preparation of a new type of unimorph actuators containing phenol-formaldelyde resin (PFR) and graphene oxide (GO) using the chiral nematic structure of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as the template. The so-obtained PFR/GO films have a unimorph structure with an asymmetric distribution of GO across the film. They exhibit synchronous responses of both photonic properties and actuation to humidifying/dehumidifying. Moreover, PFR/GO films can be forged into desired shapes by aldehyde treatment, and thereby are able to produce complex movements. In addition, the objects with predetermined shapes show good shape recovery capability upon many wetting-drying cycles, especially through the treatment with formaldehyde. A mechanism model for shape predetermination by aldehyde treatment is suggested based on experimental details. By further designing the predetermined shapes and patterns, such PFR/GO actuators may hold great promise for smart actuation devices of highly complex movements.

Abstract
The production of patterned photonic films on a large scale remains a challenge. Here, we report on a new class of photonic materials that are based on oxetane liquid crystals (LCs). Patterned reflective coatings can be produced from these materials on flexible substrates by using flexographic printing. This industrially relevant process allows for upscaling in future applications. Furthermore, the oxetane LCs used do not require an inert atmosphere for photopolymerization, unlike previously described acrylate systems. We show that the flexographic printing process results in excellent alignment, and that the patterns produced display a high resolution. Additionally, we demonstrate that free-standing photonic reflecting foils can also be produced from these materials. Our new oxetane-based patterned iridescent colored materials have potential application for both esthetic purposes as well as anticounterfeit labels.

Abstract
Biopolymer nanofibrils exhibit exceptional mechanical properties with a unique combination of strength and toughness, while also presenting biological functions that interact with the surrounding environment. These features of biopolymer nanofibrils profit from their hierarchical structures that spun angstrom to hundreds of nanometer scales. To maintain these unique structural features and to directly utilize these natural supramolecular assemblies, a variety of new methods have been developed to produce biopolymer nanofibrils. In particular, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), chitin nanofibrils (ChNFs), silk nanofibrils (SNFs) and collagen nanofibrils (CoNFs), as the four most abundant biopolymer nanofibrils on earth, have been the focus of research in recent years due to their renewable features, wide availability, low-cost, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. A series of top-down and bottom-up strategies have been accessed to exfoliate and regenerate these nanofibrils for versatile advanced applications. In this review, we first summarize the structures of biopolymer nanofibrils in nature and outline their related computational models with the aim of disclosing fundamental structure-property relationships in biological materials. Then, we discuss the underlying methods used for the preparation of CNFs, ChNFs, SNF and CoNFs, and discuss emerging applications for these biopolymer nanofibrils.

Abstract
By controlling the interaction of biological building blocks at the nanoscale, natural photonic nanostructures have been optimized to produce intense coloration. Inspired by such biological nanostructures, the possibility to design the visual appearance of a material by guiding the hierarchical self-assembly of its constituent components, ideally using natural materials, is an attractive route for rationally designed, sustainable manufacturing. Within the large variety of biological building blocks, cellulose nanocrystals are one of the most promising biosourced materials, primarily for their abundance, biocompatibility, and ability to readily organize into photonic structures. Here, the mechanisms underlying the formation of iridescent, vividly colored materials from colloidal liquid crystal suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals are reviewed and recent advances in structural control over the hierarchical assembly process are reported as a toolbox for the design of sophisticated optical materials.

Abstract
Nanofibrillar materials, such as cellulose, chitin and silk, are highly ordered architectures, formed through the self-assembly of repetitive building blocks into higher-order structures, which are stabilized by non-covalent interactions. This hierarchical building principle endows many biological materials with remarkable mechanical strength, anisotropy, flexibility and optical properties, such as structural colour. These features make nanofibrillar biopolymers interesting candidates for the development of strong, sustainable and biocompatible materials for environmental, energy, optical and biomedical applications. However, recreating their architecture is challenging from an engineering perspective. Rational design approaches, applying a combination of theoretical and experimental protocols, have enabled the design of biopolymer-based materials through mimicking nature's multiscale assembly approach. In this Review, we summarize hierarchical design strategies of cellulose, silk and chitin, focusing on nanoconfinement, fibrillar orientation and alignment in 2D and 3D structures. These multiscale architectures are discussed in the context of mechanical and optical properties, and different fabrication strategies for the manufacturing of biopolymer nanofibril-based materials are investigated. We highlight the contribution of rational material design strategies to the development of mechanically anisotropic and responsive materials and examine the future of the material-by-design paradigm.

Abstract
Rapidly responsive and flexible photonic papers are manufactured by coassembly of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and waterborne polyurethane (WPU) latex for fully taking advantage of the chiral nematic structure of CNCs and the flexibility of WPU elastomer. The resulting CNC/WPU composite papers exhibit not only tunable iridescent colors by adjusting the helical pitch size, but also instant optical responses to water and wet gas, ascribed to the easy chain movement of the elastomeric WPU that does not restrict the fast water absorption-induced swelling of CNCs. By choosing water or NaCl aqueous solutions as inks, the colorful patterns on the CNC/WPU photonic paper can be made temporary, durable, or even disguisable. In addition, the photonic paper is simultaneously rewritable for all these three types of patterns, and the disguisable patterns, which are invisible at normal times and show up under stimuli, exhibit a quick reveal conversion just by exhaling on the paper. The rewritability, rapid responsibility, easy fabrication, and the eco-friendly nature of the inks make the flexible photonic paper/ink combination highly promising in sensors, displays, and photonic circuits.

Abstract
Cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) exhibit selective reflection that can be tuned owing to the dynamic control of inherent self-organized helical superstructures. Although phototunable reflection is reported, these systems hitherto suffer from a limitation in that the tuning range is restricted to one narrow period and the optically addressed images have to sacrifice one color in the visible spectrum to serve as the background, resulting from the insufficient variation in helical twisting power of existing photoresponsive chiral switches that are all bistable. Here, delicate patterns of three primary red, green, and blue (RGB) colors with a black background are presented, which is realized based on piecewise reflection tuning of the CLC induced by a newly designed photoresponsive tristable chiral switch. Three stable configurations of the chiral switch endow the CLC with two continuous and adjacent tuning periods of the reflection, covering not only entire visible spectrum, but also one more wide period within near-infrared region. Therefore, the concept of piecewise tuning in CLC system demonstrates a new strategy for phototunable RGB and black reflective display.

Abstract
A blue reflective photonic polymer coating which can be patterned in full color, from blue to red, by printing with an aqueous calcium nitrate solution has been fabricated. Color change in the cholesteric liquid-crystalline polymer network over the entire visible spectrum is obtained by the use of nonreactive mesogen. The pattern in the coating is hidden in the blue color dry state and appears upon exposure to water or by exhaling breath onto it due to different degrees of swelling of the polymer network. The degree of swelling depends on the printed amount of calcium which acts as a cross-linker. The printed full color pattern can also be hidden simply by using a circular polarizer. The responsive full color camouflage polymers are interesting for various applications ranging from responsive house and automobile decors to anticounterfeit labels and data encryption.

Abstract
Herein, we present the first example of a silicon nanoshuttle-based security ink simultaneously featuring attractive optical and magnetic properties, suitable for fluorescent and magnetic anti-counterfeiting and encryption. Significantly, the information can be dual-encrypted through multi-color fluorescence and longitudinal (T1)/transverse (T2) relaxation contrast by using the silicon nanoshuttle-based security ink. We further demonstrate the feasibility of this high-performance ink for practical application in banknote anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Structural colors (SCs) of photonic crystals (PCs) arise from selective constructive interference of incident light. Here, an ink-jet printable and rewritable block copolymer (BCP) SC display is demonstrated, which can be quickly written and erased over 50 times with resolution nearly equivalent to that obtained with a commercial office ink-jet printer. Moreover, the writing process employs an easily modified printer for position- and concentration-controlled deposition of a single, colorless, water-based ink containing a reversible crosslinking agent, ammonium persulfate. Deposition of the ink onto a self-assembled BCP PC film comprising a 1D stack of alternating layers enables differential swelling of the written BCP film and produces a full-colored SC display of characters and images. Furthermore, the information can be readily erased and the system can be reset by application of hydrogen bromide. Subsequently, new information can be rewritten, resulting in a chemically rewritable BCP SC display.

Abstract
Replacing the widespread use of petroleum-derived non-biodegradable materials with green and sustainable materials is a pressing challenge that is gaining increasing attention by the scientific community. One such system is cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) derived from acid hydrolysis of cellulosic materials, such as plants, tunicates and agriculture biomass. The utilization of colloidal CNCs can aid in the reduction of carbon dioxide that is responsible for global warming and climate change. CNCs are excellent candidates for the design and development of functional nanomaterials in many applications due to several attractive features, such as high surface area, hydroxyl groups for functionalization, colloidal stability, low toxicity, chirality and mechanical strength. Several large scale manufacturing facilities have been commissioned to produce CNCs of up to 1000kg/day, and this has generated increasing interests in both academic and industrial laboratories. In this feature article, we will describe the recent development of functionalized cellulose nanocrystals for several important applications in ours and other laboratories. We will highlight some challenges and offer perspectives on the potentials of these sustainable nanomaterials.
