Necklace-shaped supramolecules and cellulose/chitin nano-whiskers

【Supercategory：1. Fiber/polymer materials Category：1.2 Synthetic fiber/polymer materials Subcategory：1.2.3 Others】

I am pursuing two principal areas of research. The first involves utilization of necklace-shaped supramolecules called polyrotaxanes in order to develop functional materials such as gels, fibers, and films through chemical modification. The second involves applications of nano-whiskers, that is, rod-like microcrystal particles of cellulose obtained primarily from trees and plants and those of chitin from crab and shrimp shells for use as reinforced nanocomposites.
