Molecular function and composite-assembly function relating to light, 1 time. This lecture describes photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis as examples of molecular function and composite-assembly function relating to light. Organic photonics and electronics including molecular photovoltaics are also highlighted as potential practical applications (Imahori). Molecular function and composite-assembly function related with catalysis, 1 time. This lecture describes cooperative catalysis as examples of molecular function and composite-assembly function related with catalysis (Nakao). Biochemical functions and self-assembly of peptides, 1 time. This lecture introduces the biochemical functions and molecular/material designs of peptides via their self-assembly to understand the molecular design and synthesis of peptide materials (Numata). Molecular function and composite-assembly function related with aromaticity, 1 time. This lecture describes the synthesis, structures, photophysical and magnetic properties of porphyrinoids as examples of molecular function and composite-assembly function related with aromaticity (Tanaka). Molecular function and composite-assembly function of nanocarbon molecules, 1 time. This lecture describes the synthetic strategy, molecular function and composite-assembly function of novel nanocarbon molecules (Tanaka). Biofunctional self-assembled nanomaterials and biomecical applications, 2 times. This lecture describes molecular chaperone functional engineering, nanogel tectonics engineering and proteoliposome engineering based on self-assembly of biomolecules and biopolymers. Biomedical applications such as drug delivery system (DDS) and tissue engineering are also highlighted (Akiyoshi). Interfacial functions of polymer brushes and their novel device application, 2 times. This lecture aims at fundamental understandings of synthesis, structures, and chemical/physicochemical properties of polymer brushes and describes their novel application to e.g., tribology systems, solid electrolytes, and bio-interfaces (Tsujii). Basics and recent developments of supramolecular photochemistry, 2 times. This lecture describes basics and recent developments of supramolecular photochemistry for the design and synthesis of photo-functional materials (Matsuda). |
