Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To achieve our goal for developing bio and environmental functions of aquatic functional materials that are stable in water and have high functionality, we have successfully controlled the hydration water, particularly the intermediate water, which plays a crucial role in aquatic functionality in vivo, with biomaterial synthesis and cell function control based on ring opening metathesis polymerization at the core of our research. Furthermore, we have been making efforts to better understand and control the hydration state at the interface by employing various advanced techniques, including synchrotron infrared spectroscopy, neutron reflectometry, and frequency-modulated atomic force microscopy. Finally, we have established many close collaborations with researchers in this project. Consequently, we elucidated the mechanism by which hydration water forms on the surface of biocompatible materials, which promotes the development of “Aquatic Functional Materials”.
