Azobenzene-containing surfactant directs small features of DNA thermotropic liquid crystals via bottom-up and top-down strategies

关键字:PHOTOREGULATION; PHOTOCONTROL; COPOLYMERS; POLYMERS; DUPLEX

摘要:Compared to classical block copolymers, the self-assembly of small molecules shows an advantage in addressing small features. As a new type of solvent-free ionic complexes, azobenzene-containing DNA thermotropic liquid crystals (TLCs) form an assembly as block copolymers when using small DNA. However, the self-assembly behavior of such biomaterials has not been fully investigated. In this study, photoresponsive DNA TLCs are fabricated by employing an azobenzene-containing surfactant with double flexible chains. For these DNA TLCs, the self-assembly behavior of DNA and surfactants could be guided by the factors of the molar ratio of azobenzene-containing surfactant, dsDNA/ssDNA, and presence or absence of water, which addresses the bottom-up control on domain spacing of mesophase. Meanwhile, such DNA TLCs also gain top-down control on morphology via photoinduced phase change. This work would provide a strategy for regulating the small features of solvent-free biomaterials, facilitating the development of patterning templates based on photoresponsive biomaterials.
