Outline of research activities
The kinds of polymers are relatively a few, which are used as plastics, rubber, and gels for daily life, since they exhibit versatile properties by hierarchical structure control ranging from nano- to micro-meter scales. In our laboratory, we focus to develop new polymeric materials by the hierarchical structure control and reveal the relationship between the mechanism and structure by microscope, scattering, and spectroscopy methods.
