Our final goal is developing hydrogels for biomedical applications.
For the biomedical application, we need to design the full life cycle of hydrogels in vivo.
However, in general, it is difficult to control the full life cycle, which contains making, using, and breaking of hydrogels.
To develop ideal biomaterials, we focus on the fundamentals of polymer gels, and design hydrogels based on fundamentals.
