Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To construct molecular logistics using liquid crystalline microcapsules (LC-MCs), we focused on the molecular diffusion in LC-MCs and have developed a measurement technique of the diffusion anisotropy. In addition, we have constructed a library of LC-MCs: it contains high-efficiency LC-MCs that work as laser resonators and LC-MCs with smectic LC shells. Furthermore, we have developed the fabrication technique of ordered porous materials as scaffolds for LC-MC arrays.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究で得られた物質拡散を定量的に求める手法を用いると、あらゆる液晶相の物質拡散の異方性を議論できるようになるほか、ゲルやコロイド分散液などの様々な流体MCについても同じ手法が適用可能になることが期待される。また、今後、液晶MCのライブラリーの利用が考えられる。例えば、反射色が温度依存性を示すフォトニック液晶を用いれば、反応中に反射色で反応熱を観測することが可能なマイクロリアクターとして利用できると考えられる。
