Liquid Crystalline Elastomers as Artificial Muscles
We find that low molecular weight liquid crystalline cooperative effects acting over length scales larger than the typical mesh size of a liquid single crystalline elastomer {LSCE), controls the elastomer shape. This result provides a “proof of concept” for the novel suggestion of de Gennes et al. that LSCEs may be used as temperature activated artificial muscles.
متن کاملNovel Biomaterial for NCT—“Rigid” Particles of (DNA-Gadolinium) Liquid-Crystalline Dispersions
The formation and physico-chemical properties of biomaterial, based on double-stranded (ds) DNA molecules and bearing high concentration of gadolinium, is described. This “rigid” biomaterial demonstrate a few unique properties: 1) the ds DNA molecules forming complexes with gadolinium are fixed in the spatial structure of “rigid” particles, 2) an abnormal negative band in the circular dichroism...
متن کاملLyotropic liquid crystalline phases formed in an ionic liquid.
Lyotropic liquid crystalline phases of an amphiphilic block copolymer are constructed and characterized in an ionic liquid with comparison of component and temperature effects.
متن کاملLiquid-crystalline terpyridines.
5,5"-Disubstitution of the terpyridine core leads to the first inherently liquid-crystalline terpyridines. Mesophases characteristic of bent-core and calamitic systems may be obtained depending on the core structure employed.
متن کاملChip and solution detection of DNA hybridization using a luminescent zwitterionic polythiophene derivative.
Electronic polymers in aqueous media may offer bioelectronic detection of biospecific interactions. Here we report a fluorometric DNA hybridization detection method based on non-covalent coupling of DNA to a water-soluble zwitterionic polythiophene derivative. Introduction of a single-stranded oligonucleotide will induce a planar polymer and aggregation of the polymer chains, detected as a decr...
