Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Polymer Science

Background:

  • Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has potential as a structural material.
  • Modifying DNA's properties is crucial for its application.
  • Ionic liquids offer unique properties for material modification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of choline dihydrogen phosphate (CDP) on DNA solid films.
  • To analyze how CDP influences the thermal, structural, and mechanical properties of DNA films.
  • To determine the role of CDP as a water absorber and plasticizer in DNA films.

Main Methods:

  • Solvent-casting method for preparing DNA-CDP films.
  • Thermogravimetry (TG) for thermal properties.
  • Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) for aggregation structure.
  • Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and tensile tests for mechanical properties.

Main Results:

  • CDP significantly improved water retentivity of DNA films.
  • DNA chain packing density and conformational transitions (BI → BII) were influenced by CDP concentration.
  • Mechanical properties shifted from glassy-like to rubbery-like with increasing CDP, indicating plasticization.

Conclusions:

  • CDP acts as both a water absorber and plasticizer in DNA films.
  • The addition of CDP enhances the potential of DNA solid films for structural applications.
  • Ionic liquids are effective additives for tuning the properties of biopolymer-based materials.
