Postdoctral Researcher (Fixed Term ) in Polymer materials, which are developed through the design of monomers (organic molecules) and polymerization and fabrication processes as common technologies, are used in a wide range of applications. The Polymer Materials Unit develops separation materials with high mechanical stability, durability, and largely improved permeability of gases and liquids by designing polymers with a precise network structure.

We also synthesize superior conductive polymers and redox polymers, and aim at greatly improving the performance of display devices and organic transistors by increasing electron and ion mobility.
