Summary
It is authority of the high polymer liquid crystal and is a finder of the later banana type liquid crystal. The extent of this banana liquid crystal is big and becomes popular now in Europe and America. In addition, the international conference (International Symposium on Banana Liquid Crystals) about the banana liquid crystal is carried out, too.
Originally high polymer structure chemistry is a specialty and studies natural high polymer structure and the series of the main chain type polyester liquid crystal. Furthermore, there is the thing put to practical use. In addition, even the study on structure color to create of the life is known. In addition, as for the article [1] equal to the first report of the banana type liquid crystal, quotation more than 600 times is accomplished.
An evaluation is high in the field of the chirality, and a series of studies and the study of the cholesteric liquid crystal using the polypeptide to begin to banana liquid crystal perform plenary Lecture (lecture of the all the members attendance) in international conference Chirality 2009.
I appeared for the television transmission mainly on commercial broadcasting and introduced the nano fine particles which gave off a water absorptive polymer, structure color recently in the best house 123.
I it about banana type liquid crystal
If stick, since discovery of the liquid crystal, only molecules with discal form have been targeted in the liquid crystal material. In this study, I arrested the form of molecules and the correlation of the liquid crystalline orientation place from a symmetric viewpoint, and molecules designed the new banana form liquid crystal and came to discover new structure, properties of matter not to be seen in a normal liquid crystal compound. I in this way received Minister of Education commendation with Hideo Takezoe. I discovered many liquid crystalline aspects including the liquid crystalline aspect with a new strong dielectricity liquid crystal form, an anti-ferroelectric liquid crystal, scatter structure and discovered specific structure, properties of matter such as 自然分晶 to the chiral liquid crystal domain of achiral molecules again and contributed to progress of the basic science of the liquid crystal. In addition, I observed huge spontaneous share extreme value, chiral nonlinear optical effect and suggested the application to nonlinear optics, a new display material. This result is not just promising as a next-generation model of the big liquid crystal display becoming industrial anymore now, and it is expected what I can contribute to as the base materials which can contribute to many techniques not to be accomplished with the conventional discal and stick liquid crystal.
The introduction about the study of the banana liquid crystal is placed in Tokyo Tech Bulletin. [1](English sentence)
