The research activity is currently centered on the following seven major areas.

  1. Supramolecular liquid crystals
  2. Separation and water-treatment membranes
  3. Low-dimensional ion-conductive materials & energy materials
  4. Biomaterials and recycling materials
  5. Organic/inorganic hybrid materials (mimicking biomineralization)
  6. Electron and optical functional polymer materials & supramolecular assemblies
  7. Liquid crystal gels
