Molecular Recognition Material/Supramolecular Device Study Group
The discovery of crown ethers has encouraged us to facilitate research on molecular recognition. As a matter of fact, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded twice to scientists in this field. However, the techniques based on host−guest chemistry have not yet been established which can be attributed to research and development not being focused on device applications. In contrast, certain biogenic materials have been applied to glucose sensors, however, they are not used extensively because of their chemical and thermal instability. This research society aims to design supramolecular functional materials at the molecular level and develop their device applications. We believe that comprehensive research will accelerate the realization of chemical sensors in real-world scenarios.
To this end, we welcome participants from different fields, such as chemistry, mechanics, electronics, information, environment, medicine, food, trade, and art to promote discussions on the imminent launch of supramolecular devices into society from various standpoints. Overall, our aim is to create strategies for the development of supramolecular materials and their device applications in accordance with the perspectives ranging from academic research to manufacturing.
