 We research soft matter physics and chemistry from biomaterials to molecular electronics. Now our lab focuses on some research projects of slide-ring gel (topological gel) and insulating molecular wires. The slide-ring gel has freely movable crosslinking junctions and thereby shows remarkable stretchability up to 24 times and huge swellability to 24,000. The gel can be applied to biomaterials such as soft contact lens and so on. Thus we have founded a venture company based on basic patents of the gel (www.softmaterials.jp). We are strongly concerned with the application of soft materials developed by ourselves as well as basic research on their properties.
