We live in contact with many polymer systems with network structure around us, and their unique characteristics resulted from the structure allow various applications. For example, there are the rubbers used for car wheels or shoe soles, fabrics for fashions and interiors, high-strength lightweight plastics used in aircrafts and projectiles, smart fluids used in automobile parts, photoresists for semiconductors, and hydrogels for medical and pharmaceutical applications. Many research groups around the world are conducting the studies to develop new polymer systems with network structure for the target applications, improve their properties, and expand their uses. In this presentation, I will talk about the smart fluids, chemically modified fabrics, robust and lightweight foams, and hydrogel systems that I have studied and also discuss their network structures, structural control, characteristics, performances, and applications.
