Emphasizing “polymer functionalization”, from the viewpoint of synthetic chemistry we design, synthesize and characterize novel high-value-added polymers.
Specifically, we are currently working on the following themes:
We are precisely synthesizing various functional polymers with amino acids, ionic liquids, optoelectronic functionality etc. In addition, we are attempting to synthesize nanostructures possessing precise structures such as nanoparticles and nanofibers. Using these nanostructures, we aim to generate novel functionality and create new materials.
Using polyfunctional silsesquioxane "(R-SiO1.5)n" particles that are homogeneous at the nanoscale and multifunctional, and forming molecular level organic-inorganic composites, we are engaged in developing next-generation organic-inorganic hybrids.
We are developing conducting polymers with an eye on utilizing them in organic devices (organic thin film solar cells, light-emitting materials etc.). In addition, we are developing highly transparent polymeric materials targeting applications in optical devices (plastic lenses, optical sensors etc.).
