For the past several years, our group has focused on benzoxazine dimers and polybenzoxazines for unique functions and phenomena, i.e. soft matters, responsive films, gels, including metal-ligand catalysts. The presentation will summarize our current works on (i) diamine-based benzoxazine dimers expressing molecular assembly under hydrogen bond framework, (ii) multi-branched benzoxazine dimer based reversible thermochromics film, (iii) polybenzoxazines as a building block for light triggered shape memory film, and (iv) azobenzene-based benzoxazine dimer with metal complexation for reversible soft-hard gel. The presentation will also include our on-going works, i.e. (i) benzoxazine in rotaxane molecular machine, (ii) benzoxazine dimer for dual functions for lactide ring-opening polymerization, and (iii) benzoxazine dimer for self-healing phenomena.
