Research Abstract |
This research aimed at developing modern functional materials based on cellulose and related polysaccharides by novel design and control of their nanoand mesoscopic structures. We succeeded in producing new cellulose derivatives showing a shape memory-recovery or flame-resistance functionality, biodegradation-controllable cellulose/chitin-based molecular composites, cellulosic liquid-crystal systems exhibiting an electro-optical function, cellulose nanofiber-reinforced polymer composites, and so on.
