| Research Abstract |
Following DNA-containing composites were prepared to find the functional materials with novel functions caused by the DNA structure.
1. DNA-collagen composites. (1)salmon sperm DNA-collagen composite (2) plasmid DNA-collagen composite
2. DNA-synthetic polymer composites. (1)DNA-polyacrylmnide composite (2)interpenetrate network of DNA-polyvinyl alcohol composite.
3. DNA-metal composites. (1)DNA-Cu^<2+> composite (2)DNA-Al^<3+> composite
4. DNA-silica composite by sol-gel method.
5. DNA composites with ion conductivity.
These DNA-containing composites would have possibilities to be used in various fields as sophisticated functional materials such as medical polymers, separating devices for the DNA-binding materials and ion conductive materials.
