  • Amphiphilic porphyrin derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by $^1H$ NMR and MALDI-TOF-MS. All porphyrin derivatives showed very high solubility to aqueous medium as well as hydrophobic organic solvent. The UV-vis absorption of the porphyrin derivatives showed significant broadness and decrease of maximum intensity of absorption in aqueous solution. SEM experiment showed the formation of spherical micellar structure. The $T_1$ relaxation time of aqueous medium was drastically decreased in the presence of Mn(III)-porphyrin derivative, indicating that the supramolecular micelle has strong possibility to use as a $T_1$ contrast agent.

  • In manufacturing emulsion lipstick in the past, heat and emulsifyoil phase made with oil, wax and lipophilic emulsifier with water phase together; and then mold above-mentioned materials, so-called lipophilic emulsified lipstick production method has been used. However it is hard to manufacture products using the above said method and furthermore, weak in moisturizing effect, lip care and stability. In this paper, I will discuss about multi-emulsion lipstick complementing already existing emulsion lipstick in terms of stability, giving moisturing effect of lip, and outstanding protection effectiveness of skin by safely gelatinating the state between amphiphilic lipid and water in stable.

  • We have prepared an amphiphilic wedge-coil molecule consisting of a hydrophobic wedge-like segment and a hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) segment. The wedge-coil block molecule self-assembles into cylindrical nanofibers in both polar as well as nonpolar solvents. Remarkably, the resulting nanofibers, as solvent polarity change from water to n-hexane, change from highly flexible coil-like to stiff rod-like characteristics. This dynamic switching in the stiffness of the nanofibers in response to solvent polarity is attributed to the structural inversion of cylindrical core from bulky dendritic segments with amorphous nature to crystallizable linear PEO segments.

  • Amphiphilic (porphyrin)Sn$(OH)_2$ molecular building block can directly translate into well-defined solid-state microcrystalline structures. The crystalline diamond plates are obtained from ethanol and crystalline square plates are grown from methanol solution. With a simple synthetic manipulation during the microcrystal growth, the morphologies can be controlled by adopting different molecular packing. Consequently, morphologies of microcrystals have been diversified. Furthermore, the macroscopic crystals were obtained in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB).

  • We synthesized amphiphilic material including dye skeleton, p-phenylenediamine(PD) by attaching norma-decyl group of two strands at a part of coordinating atom, for obtaining reasonable design of LB uniform films. The synthesis of this compounds was quantitatively carried out under ultra pure state. This product was identified with FT-lR spectroscopy, UV absortion spectroscopy, and $^1$H-NMR spectroscopy, respectively. When manufacturing monolayer, we confirmed molecular area from pressure-area($\pi$-A) cutie of thiscompound onto the surface of the water. The spectroscopic approach also has done by UV absortion spectroscopy. It was shown that PD-complex LBfilms were deposited well with monolayer thickness. The conductivity based on I-V characteristics of PD-complex LB films were in the range of 10$^{-10}$ S/cm at room temperture. The microscopic properties by AFM, showed the good orientation of various monolayer or multilayer molecules

  • A novel amphiphilic, symmetric rod-coil, triblock copolymer (denoted as PHEMA-b-PF-b-PHEMA) of poly(9,9-didodecylfluorene-2,7-diyl) (PF) and poly(hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) was synthesized. A $\pi$-conjugated poly(9,9-didodecylfluorene-2,7-diyl) (PF) was used as a rodlike midblock segment and connected with hydrophilic end blocks of poly(hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) by using an ATRP technique. The chemical structure of PHEMA-b-PF-b-PHEMA was confirmed by $^{1}H$-NMR and GPC, and its PL properties were investigated in selected solvents. Due to the dissimilarities in molecular conformation and solubility between PHEMA and PF blocks, both block segments were segregated to display a phase-separated morphology on a Si wafer.

  • The morphology of the $D_2O$-induced reverse micellar structure of an amphiphilic block copolymer of poly( ethylene oxide )-b-poly(propylene oxide )-b-poly( ethylene oxide )($EO_{76}PO_{29}EO_{76}$) was investigated in hydrophobic media by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Increasing $D_2O$ in the styrene/divinylbenzene solution of $EO_{76}PO_{29}EO_{76}$ led to a change in morphology of the reverse micelles from a short range ordered molecular aggregate to a hexagonally arranged micelle, and further to a spherical micelle.

  • Novel amphiphilic, thermo-responsive polyaspartamides which showed both LCST (lower critical solution temperature), and sol-gel transition were prepared and characterized. The polyaspartamide derivatives were synthesized from polysuccinimide, the polycondensate of aspartic acid monomer, via successive nucleophilic ring-opening reaction by using dodecylamine and N-isopropylethylenediamine (NIPEDA). At the intermediate composition ranges, the dilute aqueous solution exhibited a thermally responsive phase separation due to the presence of LCST. The phase transition temperature was controllable by changing the content of pendent groups. In addition, a physical gelation, i.e. the sol-gel transition was observed from the concentrated solutions, which was elucidated by dynamic viscoelastic measurements. These novel injectable and thermo-responsive hydrogels have potential for various biomedical applications such as tissue engineering and current drug delivery system.
