    We have enhanced the stability of a flavylium dye, a model compound of a natural anthocyanin dye, by the incorporation into the interlayer of a natural clay, bentonite. The composite of the flavylium and the bentonite shows excellent stability under increased temperature (up to 353 K) or alkaline environment (pH∼9) compared to the original flavylium dyes. This material can be candidate of an environmentally friendly coloring material. Increased amount of dye causes a muddy color due to the formation of dye aggregate. Samples with brilliant color can be obtained with the loading amount less than 0.25 mmol dye per g-clay.

    We have prepared oxynitride pigments showing various colors by tuning the O/N, Ti/La and Sr/La ratios independently in the perovskite-type (La,Sr) TiO2N. The increase in O/N ratio led to enhancement of bandgap energy, that is, blueshift of the absorption edge, resulting in the color change from reddish orange to white through yellow. The increase in Ti/La ratio lowered the reflectivity in the longer wavelength region after the absorption edge. The substitution of La by Sr improved the reflectivity in the longer wavelength region. Especially, in cation-nonstoichiometric oxynitrides with Ti/(La+Sr) > 1, the Sr-substitution enhanced the reflectivity in the region just after the absorption edge and efficiently reduced the reflectivity in the red region, probably due to the formation of a lot of anion deficiency. These features have enabled us to produce La-Sr-Ti-O-N oxynitride pigments showing the three primary colors composed of nontoxic and ecological elements.

    It is well-known that block copolymers form regular self-assembled structure, so-called “microphase-separated structures” in bulk. Among the block copolymers, ABC star-shaped terpolymers form characteristic microphase-separated structures, because microphase separation from the three component polymers in the ABC star requires a one-dimensional spatial arrangement of the connecting points, therefore, the terpolymer in microphase-separated structure must be highly frustrated. In this review, we show several tiling cylindrical microphase-separated structures, double periodic structures, and network structures, formed by the ABC star-shaped terpolymers were reported.

    Spironaphthoxazines (SPO) are well-known photochromic compounds of interest from the viewpoint of fundamental elucidation of photochemical switches and potential applications in optical memories. This paper reports on the conductivity switches, viscosity switches, fluorescence switches and gel switches of SPO. In addition, bistable photoswitching in poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) with SPO hydrogel for optical data storage is described.
