abstract = {The phase behavior of fd-viruses (a filamentous DNA-virus)
is strongly affected by ionic strength. In equilibrium, the
ionic strength determines the effective thickness and the
degree of electrostatic screening of the chirality of their
core, and therefore affects the concentration where phase
transitions occur and the type of phases that are observed.
At sufficiently low ionic strengths, nematic and
chiral-nematic (meso) phases, a glass state, and several
types of orientaional textures are found. Due to the very
high bare charge density of the viruses, there is a large
amount of condensed ions, that is, ions that are located in
the immediate vicinity of the core of the viruses. Under the
influence of a low AC external electric field, these
condensed ions dissociate/associate, and give rise to new
phases that are not found in equilibrium. In particular, a
dynamical state is observed, where nematic-domains
persistently melt and reform, and a critical point exists in
the divergence of time and the domain size, below a critical
ionic strength of about 1.2 mM. In this talk, I first
discuss the slow dynamics of chiral-mesophases and the glass
in equilibrium and the phase transitions in electric fields,
with an emphasis on the so-called image-time correlation
technique and dynamic light scattering to quantify the
kinetic behaviors of field-induced dynamical states.
Secondly, a short overview will be given on the response of
concentrated suspensions of charged DNA rods to shear flow.
Here, various types of inhomogeneous flow patterns are
observed, depending on both the concentration and shear
rate. If time allows, I will also present some preliminary
results on the interpenetration of negatively charged
fd-virus-viruses into the “membrane” of positively
charged Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs), and on protein
(lysozyme) aggregation, in the presence of an electric
field.},
