| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, unique anisotropic swelling-shrinking behavior of uniaxially-oriented polypeptide liquid crystalline gels, accompanied with the helix-coil transition of the consisting polypeptide, has been studied. These gels were prepared by cross-linking the rigid alpha-helical polypeptide chains in liquid crystalline solution. Following new findings have been obtained. (1) Hierarchical characteristics of the gel from molecular chain level to macroscopic gel shape; (2) novel polypeptide gels which show thermo-responsive anisotropic swelling-shrinking behavior; and (3) investigation of liquid crystalline spinning method for processing of uniaxially-oriented polypeptide gel fiber.
