Підтримка:We would like to express our gratitude to Dr. Sofia Torgova (SSC of Russian Federation «NIOPIK») for helpful advice and generous gift of LC-805, and to Dr. Wolfgang Reischl (University of Vienna) for his help with synthesis of 7-dehydrocholesterol-Benzoate.
A new approach to the problem of personal UV biodosimeter is described. Nematic liquid crystal (LC-805) is converted into induced cholesteric phase using photosensitive chiral dopant of steroid biomolecules (7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) or 7-DHC-benzoate). Significant changes in optical characteristics of the LC films depending on the duration of UV exposure are observed as a result of UV initiated photoisomerizations that change helical twisting power of dopant molecules.
