Abstract
⺠Homogeneous bulk mixture of DNA-PEG phase separates in an aqueous micro-spheroid. ⺠DNA molecules accumulate near the droplet surface and make liquid crystalline ordering. ⺠Phase-separation process is slowed down with increase of droplet size. ⺠We explain it as enhancement of depletion force under confinement due to surface effects.
