Ishizone Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that designs and synthesizes new polymers through anionic polymerization.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing and synthesizing attractive new polymers.
The Ishizone Lab studies the design and synthesis of new polymers, with polymer synthesis as its theme.
Some polymers dissolve in water, some mix well with oil, some are hard, and some are soft. The lab considers the relationship between the properties polymers show and their molecular structures.
What structure of polymer should be synthesized to bring out an interesting property or function? Members advance their research by constantly asking themselves this question.
Because reactions that are sensitive to water and air are carried out in sealed glass vessels, the experiments require glassblowing skills.
Key terms
- Polymer
- A long, chain-like molecule made of many small molecules linked together. It is the basis of plastics and rubber.
- Anionic polymerization
- A method of polymerization in which an active chain end with a negative charge links the starting molecules together one after another.
- Thermoresponsive
- Having properties that change with temperature, such as dissolving in water or no longer dissolving.

Some polymers dissolve in water, and others mix well with oil. While considering how such properties relate to molecular structure, the lab designs and synthesizes attractive new polymers.
*Illustrative imageSynthesis of Polyadamantane
The lab links together adamantane, a highly symmetric compound that can be regarded as the basic skeleton of diamond, to make new polymers with a rigid main chain.
*Illustrative imageControlled Polymerization of Polar Monomers
Focusing on the anionic polymerization of various polar monomers, the lab takes on the challenge of how far the structure of polymers made by addition polymerization can be controlled.
*Illustrative imageWater-Soluble and Thermoresponsive Polymers
Using anionic polymerization, the lab synthesizes polymers that dissolve in water and thermoresponsive polymers whose properties change with temperature.
*Illustrative imagePolymerization of Reactive Monomers
The lab investigates the polymerization of new monomers that have functional groups or heterocycles with special properties, and clarifies the reactivity and crosslinkability of the resulting polymers.
