Yo Nakamura, Professor

The Polymer Molecular Theory Lab experimentally determines the properties of polymer chains in solution from macroscopic properties such as viscosity, osmotic pressure, and scattered light intensity, and analyzes them based on polymer theory. The lab obtains molecular-level information on chain stiffness and thickness, local conformation, branching, intermolecular interactions, and dynamics, and aims to establish a framework for interpreting, at the molecular level, how solution properties change with the combination of polymer and solvent.

The Fundamental Physical Chemistry Lab studies structure formation and dynamics in polymer systems using statistical mechanics theory, computational science (simulation), and data science (informatics). In many polymer materials, hierarchical higher-order structures form from the molecular level up to visible scales, and they greatly influence physical properties and functions. The lab aims to understand and control the molecular-level mechanisms by which higher-order structures form and the dynamics of those structures.
Mikihito Takenaka, Professor

The Polymer Materials Science Lab (Takenaka Lab) studies how polymers create structures on their own (self-assembly) and how to control them. In addition to tires, organic glass, and electronic device materials, the lab studies recycled polymer materials and bio-based polymers. It examines the self-assembled structures that determine their performance from multiple angles, using synchrotron X-ray scattering, electron microscopy, and X-ray CT.

The Polymer Materials Design Lab (Tsujii Lab) aims to create new soft matter through basic and applied research on precision polymerization methods for polymers, in particular living radical polymerization. The lab designs polymers whose primary structure is precisely controlled, analyzes in detail the higher-order structures that those polymers form, and links this to functionalization, carrying out synthesis, property evaluation, and functionalization as one continuous process.
Shigeru Yamago, Professor

The Controlled Polymer Synthesis Lab (Yamago Lab) aims to create 'brilliant molecules' through organic synthesis and polymer synthesis, with the keywords radicals, living radical polymerization, heteroatom compounds, organometallic compounds, curved aromatic compounds, and functional materials. A major goal of the lab is to precisely synthesize high-molecular-weight molecules whose structures have been difficult to control during synthesis. The lab also keeps in mind that materials built around the compounds it develops will actually be used in society.
Mototsugu Eiraku, Professor

The Developmental System Control Lab aims to understand the principles by which organs such as the brain and heart are built through cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration, and to recreate functional organ formation in vitro. The lab develops technologies for recreating organ formation using pluripotent stem cells (ES cells/iPS cells), analyzes the formation process, and investigates the mechanisms by which many cells cooperate to build functional organs.
Hiroshi Kageyama, Professor

The Solid State Chemistry Lab (Kageyama Lab) studies the synthesis and functions of mixed-anion compounds, which contain two or more anions, and leads the field by building its fundamental theory and publishing review papers and textbooks. The lab also contributes to a hydrogen society through hydrogen-containing ceramic materials and explores new materials using every available synthesis method. It promotes a research environment without barriers between fields, with members ranging from synthetic chemists to physicists.

The Catalytic Function Chemistry Lab (Abe Lab) develops new photocatalytic systems, centered on research into "artificial photosynthesis," which produces hydrogen directly from water using sunlight. The lab also works on "photo-driven environmental purification," which uses light energy to decompose harmful substances and render them harmless, and on "photo-driven fine chemical synthesis," which synthesizes useful compounds.
Toshiaki Matsui, Associate Professor

The Catalyst Design Engineering Lab aims to contribute, from the standpoint of materials science, to future energy conversion technologies and environmental problems. Many of the materials it handles are inorganic compounds and ceramics, which it combines or composites with metals and polymer materials to build devices such as fuel cells and catalysts for hydrogen production.
Tetsuo Sakka, Professor

The research introduction of the Functional Materials Chemistry Lab (Sakka Lab) lists four topics: structure formation by solid fine particles at interfaces, in situ elemental analysis in water using laser plasma emission spectra, the structure and dynamics of ionic liquid interfaces, and measurement theory for liquid structure. Focusing on solid–liquid and liquid–liquid interfaces, the lab combines laser spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements with molecular simulation and integral equation theory.
