Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Cellulose liquid crystal solutions have been extensively studied, and the methylene length of mesogenic units has a significant influence on the properties of cellulose liquid crystal solutions. In this study, 4-(ω-(methylimidazole)alkyloxy)-4’-(cyano)-biphenyl (CBP-n) with 4–7 methylene lengths were synthesized as mesogenic units to prepare cellulose side chain liquid crystal in 1-Allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AMIMCl). And their liquid crystal properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), in-situ infrared spectrometer (IR), torque rheometer, and polarizing microscope (POM). The results showed that CBP-n with 4–7 methylene lengths were thermotropic liquid crystal, and the cellulose/CBP-n/AMIMCl solutions were lyotropic liquid crystal when the concentration of cellulose is 6wt% and the concentration of CBP-n with methylene length 4 and 6 is 3wt%. In-situ IR proved that the liquid crystal formation of cellulose/CBP-n/AMIMCl solution was caused by the hydrogen bonding formed between cellulose and CBP-n. And the solutions have a fewer entanglement number and lower viscosity than those of methylene length 5 and 7, indicating that the hydrogen bonding interaction between CBP-n with even methylene length and cellulose molecule is stronger than that of odd methylene length. This study provides a new approach to produce cellulose fibers using cellulose/CBP-n/AMIMCl as a new renewable resource.
