members of the Advanced Polymer Materials Laboratory at the same
institute (especially, Mr. Hayata Maeda, Mr. Yuki Miyanari, Mr. Taiki
Nishimura, Mr. Yuichi Yokoyama, Mr. Sho Hamasaki), and Dr. Hiroyuki
Shinto at Kyoto University (Department of Chemical Engineering,
Graduate School of Engineering). We are grateful to Dr. Shinya Fukumoto
and Dr. Yohei Mima of Osaka City University for fruitful discussions.
We would also like to thank Gunze Limited and SofSera Corporation for
providing the samples. The present research was supported in part by
the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization
(NEDO), 2009 Nanotech Advanced Component Utilization Research and
Development (development of cell transplant nanoscaffolds to avert isch-
emic leg amputation), and by the Grants-in-Aid for Scientifi c Research
of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Core-to-Core Program,
Advanced Particle Handling Science (Subject number: 18004).
