| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Biomineralization is used to produce minerals found in nature, and is an attractive strategy for materials synthesis. Molecular control is key in this process, and biomolecules precisely control the crystallization of inorganic substances. In this project, environmentally friendly hybrid materials that are comparable to biotic materials will be synthesized by mimicking biomineralization. In this project, we have developed hierarchically structured materials by fusing and assembling flexible organic molecules. We have also developed novel dynamic functions that cannot be achieved by simple conjugation of soft and hard materials. We have successfully developed fusion materials for photodynamic therapy via NIR irradiation, magnetoresponsive smart capusule, polysaccharide-iron oxide nanofusion materials as MRI contrast agent and magnetic hyperthermia therapy, and nanofusion particles for boron neutron capture therapy.
