COVER STORY
Moving Polymers
Molecular machines, which exhibit dynamic motion on the molecular-level, received much attention in recent years. Living organisms involving human beings are composite materials that self-organize a wide variety of biopolymers such as proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides and express advanced functions. Currently research on intelligent polymers that show “motion” in response to external stimuli, and nanoparticles that exhibit function through aggregation are developing. In this issue, we would like to introduce recent trends toward realizing nano-sized robots consisting of such moving polymers.
