Synthesis of Polymers and Nanomaterials
We synthesized new amphiphilic random/block polymers having functional moieties including photo-responsive, theremo-responsive and adhesive groups and these synthesized polymers were applied to fabrication of honeycomb films, functional polymer particles, and templates for metal nanoparticles.

Honeycomb Films and Their Applications
Honeycomb films, which are porous films fabricated by breath figure technique, have been developed. Fabrication processes and applications of honeycomb films such as superhydrophobic surfaces, cell culturing substrates, porous electrodes and so on have been demonstrated.

Polymer Particles Prepared by “SORP”
Self-ORganied Precipitation (SORP) technique, which is our original polymer particle preparation method, allows formation of particles from functional polymers, block copolymers and polymer blends. Furthermore, interior structures of particles can be controlled by phase separation of polymers. Organic-inorganic hybridization realized creation of functional particles.
