The lab studies the properties of liquid crystals and polymer gels.

AboutAbout the lab
Investigating the functions of liquid crystals and gels.
The LE Lab studies materials centered on liquid crystals and polymer gels, from the perspective of the chemistry of functional properties.
Its listed research fields are liquid crystals, polymers, electro-optic materials, and nonlinear optics.
Its research topics include the underwater adhesion of liquid crystal gels and the capture of microplastics using that adhesion.
Key terms
- Liquid crystal
- A state of matter with properties intermediate between those of a solid and a liquid.
- Polymer gel
- A soft mass in which a network of connected long molecules holds liquid.
- Microplastics
- Tiny fragments of plastic that have broken down into small pieces.
ResearchResearch themes
This lab studies the properties of liquid crystals and polymer gels. Its research background includes fast-response liquid crystal materials, dye-based liquid crystals, high-strength and high-toughness polymer gels, and underwater-adhesive polymer gels.
