| Research Abstract |
We have explored, both theoretically and experimentally, formation of novel nano-structure and transport due to the dynamical coupling between the variety of molecular structures and specific internal degrees of freedom. As a theoretical study, we have investigated entrainment of nonlinear dissipative waves under feedback control and external forcing, have developed a viscoelastic theory for a single semi-flexible polymer chain and have clarified dynamical orders of deformable self-propelled particles. Experimental procedure has been achieved for molecular manipulator by utilizing spatial heterogeneity of orientational order in liquid crystal-polymer mixtures. We have discovered perforated lamellar nematic phase and smecticC-smecticA phase transitions under shear flow.
