Stimuli-responsive polymers have drawn attention due to their applicability to a smart material. DNA also has been an interesting subject as an organic material itself as well as a programmable gene code. Thus, stimuli-responsive DNA-grafted polymers and DNA gels would be promising in drug delivery, sensors, nano-machine, soft micro-robots. Here, we synthesized the DNA gels capable of responding to pH in ranges. For this purpose, the DNA-grafted polymer is synthesized. We investigated the effects of pH on the DNA-grafted polymers especially focusing on the sol-gel transition. In the end, this product is expected to have the potential in smart material related to pH. |
