| Researchers in Material Chemistry and Biotechnology are developing new catalysts and functional materials based on chemical and biological methods. |
|
Objective of our work is development and characterization of novel functional polymers and organometallic compounds directed toward organic devices and catalysts.

Our group studies on synthesis and properties of pi-conjugated polymers with electro-optical activity. The electro-synthesized polymers in chiral liquid crystal shows chiroptically active electrochromism, electrochemical driven tunable diffraction, and charge transportation properties. Chemical polymerization in chiral liquid crystals is also developed for obtaining chiroptical polymers from achiral monomers.

The research in our lab is focused on the applications of micro- and nano-scale technologies to the development of micro total analysis systems (µTAS), cell-based assay systems, and tissue engineering. Our long-term goals are to fabricate electrochemical micro sensors for blood examinations and develop tools to manipulate animal cells for building up three-dimensional tissues in vitro.

We are focusing on creation of novel materials, which can be utilized in biological environments. We are presently interested in creation of several types of biomaterials such as biocompatible surface,materials for drug and gene delivery systems, nanotherapy, bioimaging and scaffold for tissue engineering.
