Research

A molecule or macromolecule with repulsive interactions among the chemical components within the single molecule, such as a surfactant or a block copolymer, represent self-assembled nanophase-separated structures (or microphase-separated structures) at the nanometer length scale. In Noro Research Group, we study methods for controlling physical properties and functions of new proton conductive polymer electrolyte membranes and non-covalent bonded rubber/elastomer materials at the molecular level, and their potentials as future engineering materials.
