Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, the behaviors of water around polymer electrolyte or polymer electrolyte brush were investigated. Furthermore, the behavior of water in mesoporous silica was studied and compared to that around polymer electrolyte brush. To fabricate ion conductive materials, the methods for controlling molecular weight and surface modification were developed.
