A series of solvent-free elastin-like polypeptide liquid crystals and liquids are developed by electrostatic complexation of supercharged elastin-like polypeptides with surfactants. The smectic mesophases exhibit a high elasticity and the values can be easily tuned by varying the alkyl chain lengths of the surfactants or the lengths of the elastin-like polypeptides.
一系列无溶剂弹性蛋白样多肽液晶和液体是通过超荷弹性蛋白样多肽与表面活性剂的静电复合而开发的。向列型中间相表现出高弹性,并且通过改变表面活性剂的烷基链长度或弹性蛋白样多肽的长度可以很容易地调节这些值。
