Abstract

Cellulose acetate (CA) and poly-4-vinyl pyridine (PVP) in various weight proportions were mixed in a mixed solvent of trifluoroacetic acid: methylene chloride/6:4 (v:v). CA was miscible with PVP in that solvent system. CA/PVP/solvent show liquid crystal in a certain range of concentration and the nature of that liquid crystal was cholesteric. Films of the liquid crystal composite cast from the liquid crystal solutions of CA/PVP were tested in a viewpoint of biomembrane. Results show that considering permselectivity CA/PVP membrane is better than that of CA and CA/PVP membrane is closer to cell membrane.
