Research Mission

The primary goal of our research is to develop novel π-conjugated polymers, oligomers, and organic dyes containing well-defined oligothiophene structures as sustainable functional materials aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, we focus on the development of advanced composite materials incorporating carbon-based materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, as well as silicon-based materials including silica, silsesquioxane, and silicon compounds. Through these efforts, we actively explore environmentally friendly and sustainable fabrication techniques for energy and environmental applications.
