PB03 Lyotropic Liquid Crystal Doped with DNA Molecules

Abstract

Liquid crystal exists in our living body, and liquid crystal and living body are in implication. It is expected that the fusion of both field gives us great developments such as biosensor, liquid crystal device, and materials with super high functionalities. In the present study, we focus on lyotropic liquid crystal in the water system similar to the living body, and we investigate the characteristics of liquid crystal doped with DNA molecules and then research the properties of DNA.
