Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to develop structurally controlled fusion materials that are constracted from organic polymers and abundant natural inorganic constituents, we have investigated various controlled polymerization methods for creation of new stimuli-responsive polymers and films, selective antibacterial block copolymers, alternating copolymer with highly selective acid-degradability. Furthermore, biologically synthesized or bioinspired process-derived iron oxides as catalysts for living cationic and radical polymerization, magnetoresponsive on-demand release of hybrid liposomes, formation of well-defined uniquely shaped silica nanoparticles and ring assembly of silica nanospheres mediated by amphiphilic block copolymers was demonstrated.
