Photoswitchable solvent-free DNA thermotropic liquid crystals toward self-erasable shape information recording biomaterials

Soft thermotropic liquid crystals (TLCs) have advantages on processability and shape memory compared to hard solids and fluids. The development of photoswitchable soft TLCs based on biomolecules would afford reworkable shape information recording biomaterials for the areas requiring biocompatibility...
