Updated Publications- Papers by Dr. TAKAFUJI's Research Cluster

The following five papers by members of IROAST Research Cluster "Nano-Organics and Nano-Hybrids" coordinated by Prof. Makoto TAKAFUJI (FAST*)  have been added to the "Publications" page on IROAST website as IROAST's achievements.

1. Hierarchical chirality observed from chiral supramolecular assembling of racemic and enantiopure helicene derivatives on silica nanohelix surfaces
2. Polycyclic aromatic polymer nanoparticles show potent infectious particle adsorption capability
3. Enhancement of mechanical properties of benign polyvinyl alcohol/agar hydrogel by crosslinking tannic acid and applying multiple freeze/thaw cycles
4. Nanofibrous chiral supramolecular assembly-derived self-healing hydrogels with polyethylene glycol
5. Fabrication of depth-controlled dimples on polymer microsphere and capturing of nano-sized objects

#1 is a paper co-authored with Dr. Reiko ODA who is an IROAST Visiting Professor (CNRS-University of Bordeaux, France) and Dr. Nanami HANO (FAST*) of a cluster member in Takafuji lab., who has been now studying in the Dr. Oda's research group at Université de Bordeaux.

#5 is also a joint paper with Dr. Reiko ODA in CNRS-University of Bordeaux and Prof. Takafuji's research group in Kumamoto Univesity.
