Author:
Yoshiki Chujo completed his PhD at Kyoto University in 1980 and then joined Nagoya University as an assistant professor in 1981. In 1983, he joined the group of Prof. J. E. McGrath at Virginia Tech in the U.S.A. as a postdoctoral research fellow. He returned to Kyoto University as a lecturer in 1986 and has been Professor of Polymer Chemistry there since 1994. His research interests focus on polymer synthesis, inorganic polymers, and polymeric hybrid materials. He has published more than 450 papers. The impact of his work is manifested in the discovery of various new polymerization methodologies, which enabled the preparation of the first examples of various types of hetero-element containing mainchain-type polymers showing very unique optical and electrical properties.
