Polymer has played an important role as an organic material in various fields of research and industry, and its property of responsiveness to stimuli has drawn attention for applications as a smart material. DNA also has been an interesting subject as an organic material itself as well as a programmable code; especially pH-dependent mispairing makes DNA more attractive to examine. Although various studies have been reported to relate these two fields, polymer and DNA still have a good many things to find inbetween. Here, we synthesizes a hybrid gel with polymer and DNA having pH-responsive properties both. This hybrid gel is obtained by sol-gel transition in pH change showing swelling-shrinking behaviors. By this study, we report a new mean of pH-responsive system by the polymer-based DNA hybrid gel suggesting its potential in the fields of controlled drug delivery, sensors, actuators, nanomachine, 3D printing and microfluidics. |
