Mechanically induced disorder–order transitions have been studied in fluid surfactant solutions or polymer thermotropic liquid crystals. However, isothermally induced ordered phases do not persist after cessation of shear, which limits their technological applicability. Moreover, no such stimuli‐responsive materials involving biomacromolecules have been reported although biopolymer liquids are gaining
在流体表面活性剂溶液或聚合物热致液晶中研究了机械诱导的无序转变。但是,等温诱导的有序相在剪切停止后不会持续存在,这限制了它们的技术适用性。此外,尽管生物聚合物液体引起了人们的广泛关注,但尚未见到涉及生物大分子的此类刺激反应性材料。引入了生物流体系统,其中阴离子多肽与阳离子表面活性剂复合。产生的流体表现出由剪切触发的非常敏感的各向同性-向列相变。停止机械刺激后,保留形成的液晶。材料的自定序行为是通过水流和手指按压实现的。
