higher-order structures. This finding indicates that small-molecule additives provide control over the self-assembly of crystalline oligosaccharides for the creation of hierarchically structured materials with high robustness in a simple manner.

synthesized cellulose oligomers (also known as cellodextrin) self-assemble in situ into unique nanostructures. In addition to the plain celluloseoligomer, celluloseoligomer derivatives bearing azido [34], alkyl [35], oligo(ethylene glycol) [36], vinyl [37][38], and amino [39][40] groups at the terminal have
cm−1 (Figure 8). The cellulose II allomorph is the most stable allomorph of cellulose [19] and is typical of the celluloseoligomer assemblies formed in aqueous solution [31][42]. The degree of crystallinity (χc) values of the gelled products were calculated from the XRD profiles and found to be
