About awarded research

Development of soft interfaces functionalities by precise control of polymer architectures.

Your impression & future plan
I am very honored to receive this award for my research on structural control and function creation of the interfaces composed of polymers as soft materials. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Professor Madoka Takai and everyone involved for their guidance.
We would like to further develop the understanding of polymer interfaces and their functions in the future.
