Glass transition and molecular mobility in polymer thin films (2009)

Inoue, R., Kanaya, Toshiji, Nishida, K., Tsukushi, I., Telling, M. T. F., Gabrys, B. J., ...

Extensive studies on polymer thin films to date have revealed their interesting but unusual properties such as film thickness dependence of glass transition temperature Tg and thermal expansivity....

Loosening Xyloglucan Accelerates the Enzymatic Degradation of Cellulose in Wood (2009)

Kaida, Rumi, Kaku, Tomomi, Baba, Kei'ichi, Oyadomari, Masafumi, Watanabe, Takashi, Nishida, Koji, ...

In order to create trees in which cellulose, the most abundant component in biomass, can be enzymatically hydrolyzed highly for the production of bioethanol, we examined the saccharification of xylem...

Molecular weight dependence of mean square displacement in ultrathin polymer films as studied by inelastic neutron scattering (2008)

Inoue, Rintaro, Kanaya, Toshiji, Nishida, Koji, Tsukushi, Itaru, Shibata, Kaoru

In previous papers, we found that the mean square displacement u2 in polystyrene thin films decreased with film thickness and discussed two possible causes for the decrease. One is the hard interface...

Dynamic Heterogeneity of Amorphous Polymers below and above Tg (FUNDAMENTAL MATERIAL PROPERTIES-Polymer Materials Science) (2001)

Kanaya, Toshiji, Kaji, Keisuke

Dynamic heterogeneity has been investigated for amorphous polymers in terms of non-Gaussian parameter A0, which is currently believed to be a key to reveal anomalous dynamics near the glass...

Conformational Change and Orientation Fluctuations Prior to Crystallization of Crystalline Polysty-renes (FUNDAMENTAL MATERIAL PROPERTIES-Polymer Materials Science) (2000)

Matsuba, Go, Kaji, Keisuke, Nishida, Koji, Kanaya, Toshiji, Imai, Masayuki

Aiming to clarify the cause of a spinodal decomposition (SD) type microphase separation occuring during the induction period of polymer crystallization, we have made quantitative investigations about...

A New Discovery of Microphase Separation Initiating In the Induction Period of Polymer Crystallization : characteristic wavelengths at high temperatures (FUNDAMENTAL MATERIAL PROPERTIES-Polymer Materials Science) (1999)

Kaji, Keisuke, Matsunaga, Shuji, Matsuba, Go, Kanaya, Toshiji, Nishida, Koji, Imai, Masayuki

On the basis of the previous new discovery that a spinodal decomposition type of microphase separation occurs during the induction period for glass crystallization when a polymer is crystallized at...

Hierarchic Structure of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Gels (FUNDAMENTAL MATERIAL PROPERTIES-Polymer Materials Science) (1998)

Kanaya, Toshiji, Takeshita, Hiroki, Nishikoji, Yuichi, Ohkura, Masatoshi, Nishida, Koji, Kaji, Keisuke

We studied the structure and its formation process of poly(vinyl alcohol) gels formed in a mixture of deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO-d6) and heavy water at 25 °C, using various kinds of...
