%X Performance properties were investigated for transparency switching devices fabricated with nematic LC filled bacterial cellulose (BC) mats as electro-optical components. Biobased BC is a nanoporous bicontinuous network of cellulose fibers produced by bacteria and cultured to form mats of desired thickness. Devices made from BC mats with thicknesses of 6, 20, and 40 ¦Ìm were compared. Furthermore, the electro-optical response of the devices provides insight into the ordering of the nematic LC within the bicontinuous BC matrix
