Polymer Biomaterials Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab creates biomaterials from plant-derived polymers.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating attractive biomaterials and bioactive molecules + SDGs
The Polymer Biomaterials Chemistry Lab creates plant-derived, carbon-neutral polymers and develops new methods to synthesize them.
Moving away from a petroleum-based society, the lab proposes synthesis methods for environmentally friendly functional polymers made from renewable resources.
All of the polymers are studied with applications such as new biomedical polymers and biomaterials in mind.
Key terms
- Carbon neutrality
- The property whereby the CO2 fixed by plants does not increase its concentration in the atmosphere, even when the plants are used as materials and the CO2 is returned to the atmosphere as they decompose
- Biodegradable polymer
- A polymer that is broken down by microorganisms and other agents after use
- Drug delivery system
- A mechanism for delivering a drug to the place in the body where it is needed. Abbreviated as DDS
ResearchResearch themes
The lab creates plant-derived, carbon-neutral polymers and develops new methods to synthesize them. The polymers it works with are bio-based polymers and polymers with excellent biocompatibility, studied with applications such as biomedical polymers and bio-based electronic materials in mind.
*Illustrative imageBiodegradable polymers derived from saccharides
The lab synthesizes new biodegradable polymers from saccharide-derived compounds. The polymers it works with are bio-based polymers and polymers with excellent biocompatibility.
Synthesis of heat-resistant polylactic acid
The lab synthesizes polylactic acid with excellent heat resistance, using lactic acid obtained from glycerol as the raw material.
*Illustrative imageHyperbranched polymers with pseudo-peptide structures
