Self-organization of Hollow nanotubular Toroidal Polymer Microrings
  • Despite the remarkable progress made in the field of nano/mesoscale architectures, the synthesis of hollow toroids with well-defined sizes and shapes via self-assembly or selforganization has proved to be elusive thus far. In this study, for the first time, the direct synthesis of hollow nanotubular toroidal polymer microrings through the self-organization of rectangular tectons with anisotropically predisposed functional groups has been demonstrated.

High Affinity Host–Guest FRET Pair for Single-Vesicle Content Mixing Assay: Observation of Flickering Fusion Events
  • Single vesicle fusion assays using SNARE-reconstituted vesicles have played a vital role in elucidating the mechanisms of SNARE mediated vesicle fusion by allowing controlled observations which are not possible by in vivo studies. However, the existing assays have limitations such as low sensitivity and limited ability to detect transient fusion pore openings.

The Development of Highly Stable, Water-dispersible Metal Nanostructure Using Cucurbituril Nanocapsules
  • Catalysis is a core technology in the field of chemical industry. This is because catalysts are essential for efficiently promoting chemical reactions. In practice, 85% of chemical processes use catalysts. However, catalysts can lead to safety and economic problems, as well as causing environmental damages.

Hydrolytic Transformation of Microporous MOFs to Hierarchical Micro- and Mesoporous MOFs
  • Porous materials have unique chemical and physical properties based on the pore structures. Among them, metalorganic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted much interests due to its outstanding crystallinity, porosity, and modularity. In particular, MOFs have a variety of possible applications such as catalysis, storage, separation, optics, electronics, and magnetism, and so on.

Chemotherapy Submarine Circulating in the Blood
  • Cancer is one of the final targets to be overcome in modern medicine. Even though a variety of anticancer drugs have been developed for a long time, an effective treatment by anticancer drugs is still far-off. However, our group has presented a breakthrough in cancer treatment. Group leader Won Jong Kim has successfully developed a new concept for an anticancer drug delivery system using polymer and Host-Guest Chemistry. The focus of this study is to develop a “Drug Delivery Carrier” for minimizing the side effects as well as delivering drugs only to specific cancer cells.

The Capture and Release of Nitric Oxide Using N-Heterocyclic Carbene
  • Nitric oxide is one of the major environmental pollutants. Being highly reactive to oxygen, nitric oxide destroys the ozone layer or is converted to nitrogen dioxide, which in turn oxidizes to nitrate ions, causing acid rain. Since 1979, however, nitric oxide has drawn renewed attention as its various physiological effects were revealed.
