Study on the advanced orientation control technology of biopolymers; Seitai kobunshi zairyo no kodo haiko hairetsu seigyo gijutsu no kenkyu

Abstract

Creation of new functional organic materials for the medical application has been investigated under the microgravity. Facilities of the Japan Microgravity Center were used for this study. For the high-speed synthesis of uniform polymer particles under the microgravity condition for ten seconds, appropriately good results were obtained in the oxidation polymerization of pyrroles. For the synthesis of organic conductive thin films by the electrolytic polymerization, the resistance of electrolyte became larger in the microgravity field. It was required to set conditions so as to enhance the effects of microgravity environment. For the orientation control and thin film formation of proteins, the bacteriorhodopsin was examined. It was found that the microgravity improved the quality of electrocoatings. When the surface tension and viscosity of coating liquid were appropriately controlled under the microgravity, thin films were able to be prepared by utilizing a change from 1g to {mu}g. When the high viscosity fluid is placed in the artificial two-dimensional space composing of two parallel plates, and the low viscosity fluid, such as air, is injected into the above, the interface grows in the finger shaped pattern, namely, viscous fingering. The influence of gravity on this phenomenon was also investigated. 11 refs., 45 figs.,  More>>
