Title: Control of Structure and Properties of Polymer Materials Driven by Pressure
Abstract: Polymeric multiphase systems undergoing phase transitions by pressure changes are known as “Baroplastics”. Particularly, polymers with low-temperature formability, induced by a pressure-driven phase transition from a solid (phase-separated) state to a melt/solid (miscible) state has gained attention from a recycling perspective. Herein, the molecular design of baroplastic block copolymers is introduce, and the interplay between morphology and material properties are also discussed.

Speaker: Shigeru Deguchi, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology
Title: Deep-Sea-Inspired Chemistry: Fabrication and Utilization of Nanostructures Inspired by the Extreme biosphere
Abstract: Nature has always been a source of inspiration for scientific progress, and the deep sea is no exception. This talk will outline “deep-sea inspired chemistry”, chemistry inspired by the extreme environment of the deep sea and the unique survival strategies of deep-sea organisms. The talk will introduce a new generation of ocean exploitation realized by applying the ingenuity of colloid and polymer chemistry to deep-sea inspiration, as exemplified by the development of nanoemulsification processes exploiting the hot and compressed environment of deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and the exploration of deep-sea microbial resources exploiting the large surface area of nanofibers.
