Concept

For the polymer materials, the high performance properties and effective functions are achieved when the polymer structure and the effective polymer-polymer interaction were controlled. Therefore, 4 stages of the polymer material research are important; Molecular design, Polymer structure control, Polymer-polymer interaction, and the control of High performance & Functionalization. In our laboratory, we design and synthesize the novel monomers at molecular level to create high performance polymers and functional polymers by the controlled polymerization and nanostructure control.
＜Target examples＞　Nano particles, Nano films, Microgel, Eelectronspinning, Precise polymerization, Highly mechanical strengthen polymer, Highly thermal resistant polymer, Amphiphilic polymer, Gas hydrate inhibitor, Thermal storage material, Water retaining material, Hydrogel, Water harvest material, Selective adheshion material, Drug delivery system, Degradation control, Biodegradable polymer, Bioabsorbalbe polymers, Degradation control, Thermosensitive polymer, pH responsive polymer, Photoresponsive polymer, Antibacterial polymer, Cell adhesion, and so on.
