Our laboratory is engaged in the synthesis of architecturally complex polymers, development of novel conductive polymers, synthesis and microphase separation behavior of block copolymers, and creation and application of sustainable polymeric materials with functional properties. Through these studies, you will acquire polymer synthesis skills that will serve you well both domestically and internationally!

Research

Polymer materials are used in the many fields and required high performance, new functional properties. We focus on functional polymer material such as architecturally complex copolymer, conductive polymer, and biobased block copolymer. We also investigate biodegradable polymer to develop the environmental pollution by non-degradable polymer.
