We aim at the exploitation of new π-conjugated molecules/polymers and their assemblies through organic/macromolecular synthetic strategies and the supramolecular approach, leading to the creation of various functional organic materials with optimized optoelectronic properties. In particular, we exploit rational design of molecular components, control and modulation of molecular interactions, and various kinds of self-assembled organic nanostructures with finely tuned viscosity and phase-segregated structures, which will pave the way to the production of organic materials with functioning structures.

We synthesize new conjugated polymers with unusual optical, electronic, and mechanical properties, and create assemblies of those polymers and polymer-based composite materials as de facto standards.
