  • Title: Cholesteric and nematic liquid crystalline phase behavior of double-stranded DNA stabilized single-walled carbon nanotube dispersions.
    Author: Ao G, Nepal D, Aono M, Davis VA.
    Journal: ACS Nano; 2011 Feb 22; 5(2):1450-8. PubMed ID: 21275385.
    Abstract:
    The first lyotropic cholesteric single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) liquid crystal phase was obtained by dispersing SWNTs in an aqueous solution of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Depending on the dispersion methodology, the polydomain nematic phase previously reported for other lyotropic carbon nanotube dispersions could also be obtained. The phase behavior and dispersion microstructure were affected by the relative concentrations of dsDNA and SWNT and whether small bundles were removed prior to concentrating the dispersions. This readily controlled phase behavior opens new routes for producing SWNT films with controlled morphology.
