Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I established new techniques to analyze nano-level structure of organic materials and organic-inorganic composite using atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy. By the use of this technology, we revealed chemical processes of self-assembly such as formation of metal-organic hybrid vesicles and polymer-vesicle composites, at single molecule level. In addition to that, we succeeded in designing functions of self-organizing functional materials such as drug transport carriers and hybrid catalysts based on the knowledge obtained by the high-resolution microscopic analyses.
