| Development of innovative nano-biodevices based on hybrid materials by combination of endemic South Asian biomolecules and nanocarbons | Japan |
Professor, Faculty of Science, Tokyo University of Science |
This collaborative research aims to develop innovative hybrid materials by functionalizing nanocarbons with endemic Southeast Asian biomolecules such as papains and celluloses. Specifically, the Japan team will design various types of hybrids and characterize fabricated hybrids. Furthermore, the Japan team will estimate optimal conditions of hybrids formation using simulations. The Vietnam team will apply the innovative materials for biosensing by using microfabrication technology. The Philippines team will contribute to simulation studies and apply the hybrids to near infrared sensing. The Indonesia team will apply the hybrid materials for environmental engineering such as degradation of environmental pollutants. Comparing with usual biomolecules or nanocarbons, it is expected to provide at least three new enhanced hybrid materials, and to realize halving of sample amounts for biosensing. |

| Development of new functional polymers from plant oils by efficient catalytic carbon-carbon bond formation, post modifications | Japan |
Professor, Graduate School of Science, Tokyo Metropolitan University |
This collaborative research aims to develop new biodegradable and recyclable functional polymers from plant oils abundant in ASEAN countries by using precise olefin polymerization and subsequent post modifications. The Japan team will develop functional polymers by olefin metathesis polymerization using original catalyst technique from monomers with different chain length and types derived from plant oils. The Thailand team will work on basic property analysis of the prepared polymers, and develop integrated thermal- and acid-responsive sensing polymeric materials by color-change. The Philippines team will develop functional materials for water purification and heavy metals recovery by preparing polymer networks with polysaccharides. Also, an innovative green catalytic synthesis process which do not require excess amount of base will be developed by the Thailand and other teams. |

| Microfluidic nanowires coupled with gold nanoparticles for Dengue viral disease diagnosis | Japan |
Associate Professor, Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University |
This collaborative research aims to develop a comprehensive analysis methodology for Dengue viral disease diagnosis using microfluidic oxide nanowires coupled with gold nanoparticles. Specifically, the Japan team will demonstrate Dengue infection detection via urinary Dengue-related exosome (disease information career) capture, and machine learning analysis of urinary microRNAs inside exosomes using the microfluidic oxide nanowires. The Thailand team will demonstrate Dengue infection diagnosis via Dengue virus detection in blood serum using the microfluidic oxide nanowires. The Indonesia team will perform simulations of nanoparticle dynamics and enhanced fluorescence around the microfluidic oxide nanowires. Through the collaborative and complementary research among the three countries, it is expected to provide an efficient tool for highly comprehensive and rapid detection of Dengue virus infection. |
