DEPARTMENTOFCHEMISTRYANDMATERIALSDepartment of Chemistry and Materials (Functional Polymer Science Course)FacultySHINSHU UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MASTER’S PROGRAM031Functional macromolecule is the cutting-edge material that supports our daily life.YunaMatsumotoStarted in 2013 / Dr. Ichikawa's LabI'm working on organic thin-film solar cells. I'm having hard days as my research does not readily advance as expected. However, I feel proud and a sense of fulfillment when I manage to create an efficient solar cell. My knowledge has deepened and experiments have become more interesting since I went on to the graduate school. Moreover, I felt my growth after making presentation of the research results at a conference.This course researches nature-friendly and human-friendly functional materials by modeling advanced sophisticated functions of living organisms. The research is coherent from basics to applications with the goal of letting macromolecules have extreme functions in mind.RecentCareerPathsThe right photo shows an example of a flexible organic EL device. Because an organic semiconductor is flexible, it can be fabricated on a plastic film and run when it is bent as shown in the photo.Developing flexible organic electroluminescence (EL) devicesThe photo below shows a flexible sheeted fuel cell with approx. 4mm thickness. This generates electricity by using methanol and hydrogen as fuel. This can be formed serially by means of a Jacquard loom with carbon-fiber threads, thermal-adhesive insulating threads and catalyst-coated electrolyte membrane ribbons used as the weft, while series-connected to a single ribbon-like fuel cell. We are examining its application to large-area sheet-type fuel cells and wearable fuel cells.Flexible sheeted fuel cellThis course researches the interaction between macromolecules and living organisms, aiming to create nanofiber using natural macromolecules and apply it to scaffolding materials for artificial organs.Developing materials for artificial blood vesselsThis course creates various functional composite fibers by introducing nanomaterials.X-ray diffraction image of synthetic textile introducing nanochitinYasuhiro Kohsaka, Assistant ProfessorSynthesis of Polymers Based on Monomer DesignDesign of functional monomers with novel reactivity and their application to high-precision polymer synthesisKenji Hanabusa, ProfessorDevelopment and Application of GelatorMolecule design, synthesis and application of new low-molecular gelatorYasuo Gotoh, Associate ProfessorPhysical Property of Fibers and Macromolecules and Solution SpinningSolid physical property of fibers and creation of functional fibers with solution spinningMasahiro Suzuki, ProfessorSupermolecule PhotochemistryDevelopment of L-amino acid type gelator and application to industrial useAkira Teramoto, Associate ProfessorPolymer ChemistryDevelopment of base materials for cell culture using natural macromoleculesJun Araki, Associate ProfessorPolymer Chemistry, Science of Polysaccharides and Science of SupermoleculesCreation of materials using polyrotaxane derivative, cellulose and chitin nanowhiskerKousaku Ohkawa, ProfessorScience of Fabric Material of Biologic Origin Basic research on biomacromolecules including proteins and polysaccharides and computing scienceYoshiro Ogoma, Associate ProfessorDevelopment of Biosensor Using Biological MaterialsDrug detection with biosensor using enzyme catalyzing biosynthesis of drug metabolism and steroidal hormoneToshiki Koyama, Associate ProfessorHigh Polymer Electrochemistry and Functional MaterialsDevelopment of electronic functional materials and functional fibers and application to soft energy deviceMusubu Ichikawa, ProfessorMaterials Science and Physical Chemistry for Organic Semiconductor Study on organic semiconductor, which plays a leading role in organic electroluminescence and organic solar cellYoshihiro Itoh, ProfessorHigh Polymer Synthetic Chemistry and Organic Materials ChemistryDevelopment of chemical-degradable organic materials and functional organic materialsKazuchika Ohta, ProfessorPhysical Chemistry of Liquid Crystals, Chemistry of Molecular Self-assemblies and Chemistry of ComplexesResearch on synthesis of organic functional materials especially organic semiconductor liquid crystal for organic thin film solar cell, and the functionalityDIC, JSR, TDK, Kissei Pharmaceutical, Canon, Kewpie, Sharp, Daikin Industries, Daicel, Mitsubishi Rayon, Mitsubishi Plastics, Kyocera, Shin-Etsu Chemical, Toppan Printing, Idemitsu Kosan, Dai Nippon Printing, Sumitomo Osaka Cement, Shinko Electric Industries, Nichi-Iko Pharmaceutical, Nitto Denko, Hitachi Chemical, Toray, Toagosei, Toyo Tires, The Yokohama Rubber, Sekisui Chemical, Kao, Denki Kagaku Kogyo, Toshiba, ADEKA, JNC, YKK, civil servant
