バイオ系ナノ材料における水素結合の役割
The Role of Hydrogen Bonds in Bio-Nanomaterials
磯貝 明
Akira ISOGAI
<要旨> セルロースの結晶性ミクロフィブリル内の水素結合を維持し、フィブリル間水素結合を選択的切断することにより、極細のバイオ系ナノファイバーが効率良く調製できる。複合化の際には基材中でのフィブリル間の凝集を抑え、ナノ分散状態を維持する必要がある。これらの水素結合の制御はバイオ系ナノ材料の調製と利用、機能発現に大きく関与する。

水素結合が高分子の熱的・力学的特性に及ぼす影響
Effect of Hydrogen Bonding on the Thermo-Mechanical Properties
浦川 理
Osamu URAKAWA
<要旨> Hydrogen bonding polymer blends: poly(vinylphenol) (PVPh) and poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP), were studied in detail from the preparation methods to their thermo-mechanical properties. Complexation (hydrogen bonding) of PVPh and P2VP took place in a dioxane solution and resulted in the precipitation of the hydrogen bonded polymer components with the compositions of PVPh:P2VP close to the 1:1 stoichiometry. By using a DMSO solution, we found it possible to prepare the blends with any compositions. The composition dependence of the glass transition temperature and that of the zero share viscosity exhibited positive deviation from the linear additivity rules. These behaviors also indicate the existence of strong hydrogen bonding interactions between component polymers.

生分解性ポリエステルの結晶構造における弱い水素結合の役割
The Role of “Weak Hydrogen Bond” in the Crystal Structure of Biodegradable Polyetsers
佐藤 春実
Harumi SATO
<要旨> It was found that weak hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal structure of the biodegradable polyesters such as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(3-hydroxyvarelate) (PHV), polyglycolic acid (PGA), by using Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical calculations. It is very likely that the CH・・・O hydrogen bonding stabilizes the crystal structures of PHB, PHV, PGA, and related copolymers. Even if the CH・・・O hydrogen bonding is relatively weak, it is extremely important for the stabilization of lamellae. We confirmed the crucial role of C-H・・・O interactions toward the unique “folded” structure of the PHB molecule chain, the crystalline structure stabilization, high melting temperature, and the high copolymer crystallization.

DNAオリガミで作る単分子機能デバイス
Single-Molecular Devices made of DNA Origami
葛谷 明紀
Akinori KUZUYA
<要旨> DNA origami is the process in which long single-stranded DNA molecules are folded into arbitrary planar nanostructures with the aid of many short staple strands. Since its striking introduction, DNA origami has dramatically widened the scope of applications of DNA nanotechnology based on the programmed assembly of branched DNA junctions. DNA origami can be used to construct not only arbitrary two-dimensional nanostructures but also nano-sized breadboards for the arraying of nanomaterials or even complicated three-dimensional nano-objects. This review briefly summarizes the basic designs principle of DNA origami as well as its application to functional single-molecular devices.

Photo-Induced Living/Controlled Radical Polymerization Reaction
山子 茂・中村 泰之
Shigeru YAMAGO, Yasuyuki NAKAMURA
<要旨> Recent developments in photo-induced living/controlled radical polymerization (LRP) reaction are summarized. Photochemistry offers unique solutions to several problems in the conventional LRP, such as increase of the fidelity of α-polymer end structure in TERP and RAFT and significant decrease of the amount of metal catalysts used in ATRP. It also provides new opportunity to attain new control, such as time and spatial control in addition to the control of molecular weight of the resulting polymers. In sharp contrast to conventional photochemical reactions which requires high-intensity light source and uses high-energy UV-light, the reactions described here usually take place under mild irradiation conditions by using long-UV or visible lights by using low-intensity light sources. These unique features offer new possibilities in both basic and applied researches in LRP.
