Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The effects of molecular interactions at interfaces have a significant impact on material properties. However, the molecular interactions at the interface are very different from those in the solution state, making it difficult to understand and control various phenomena at the interface. We have previously succeeded in utilizing bio-mimetic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to demonstrate the enhancement of ionic bonds in close proximity to hydrophobic interfaces at the nanoscale and modify these bonds by an electric field. In this study, we have applied this knowledge to discover the slow conformational change dynamics of molecules at hydrophobic interfaces, the development of hybrid columnar liquid crystals that exhibit multiple responsiveness, and the development of the world's first heterochiral supramolecular polymers.
