| Research Abstract |
Soft matter complex system is a typical complex system which has hierarchical structure with various spatial scales and mesoscopic interfaces where different kinds of soft matter meet. In this project, we focused on the structure and dynamics of soft matter interfaces. We have especially studied nematic colloidal system, vesicular system and conductive nano-fibers in this project. We studied their characteristic properties, and developed new materials and their control method for applications. The obtained results give important insight for understanding of life, structure control via self-organization of soft matter and development of new materials using soft matter.
