Takeji Hashimoto (born 24 February 1942, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan) is a Japanese polymer scientist known for his work on self-organization processes in polymer systems.[1]

Early life and education

[edit]

He received his higher education at Kyoto University, where he received his Bachelor of Science in 1965 and his Master of Science in 1967. Hashimoto furthered his studies in the United States, earning a second Master of Science in 1969 and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Polymer Science and Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1971.[2][3]

Academic and research career

[edit]

Hashimoto began his academic career as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (1970–1971). Then he returned to Japan, where he joined Kyoto University as an instructor. In 1984 he become an Associate Professor  and later a full Professor in the Faculty of Engineering.

Hashimoto's research primarily focused on the self-organization processes in polymer systems. He made contributions to the understanding of phase transitions and phase separation in polymers, particularly in the development of mesoscopic pattern formation. One of his notable projects was the "ERATO Polymer Phasing Project" (1993–1998), funded by the Japan Science and Technology Agency. This project aimed to investigate the phase behavior of polymer systems under non-equilibrium conditions, including the effects of external fields like shear flow and temperature gradients.[4]

Publications and contributions

[edit]

Hashimoto was contributed to over 585 original research articles, 58 review articles, and 44 books. His work has been published in prestigious journals, including The Journal of Chemical Physics, Physical Review Letters, and Macromolecules.[5][6][7][8]

Awards and honors

[edit]

Hashimoto was the recipient of the High Polymer Physics Prize (also known as the Ford Prize) from the American Physical Society in 1987. Additionally, he was awarded the Chancellor's Medal from the University of Massachusetts in 1989.[9][10]
