PRINCIPAL SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS
      For more than 40 years, Dr. Kondo has been contributing extensively to the interdisciplinary interfaces between chemistry and biology of cellulose, based on cellulose physical chemistry through basic and applied research using various cellulose from different origins.

      His academic career started at The University of Tokyo, Japan and further developed at McGill University, Canada (with Dr. Derek Gray) by synthesizing regioselectively substituted cellulose ethers as compound models for understanding hydrogen bonding formation in cellulose homopolymer (Macromolecules 1994, and others).  Both of the synthesizing methodology and the resultant products drew the trigger to attract attention of importance in relationship among distribution of substituent, hydrogen bonds and their physicochemical properties, and at present extensive researches by many research groups are still going on in this area.

      After joined to Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute (FFPRI), his interest did not stay only at the areas where he used to be, but were extended to native systems, namely, super- and supra-molecular architecture of cellulose in native and artificial systems. Then, he had started to study wood cell wall hierarchical architecture by initially focusing on b-glucan association in native systems using physicochemical approaches such as microscopic FT-IR, and in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) (Macromolecules 1996&1998).  He had also developed his own techniques in these analytical tools to fit carbohydrate polymers having supramolecular structures (Polymer 1999, Biomacromolecules 2005, ACS Omega 2017). In 2000, he was successful to obtain his 2^nd Ph.D. in Engineering on Polymer physical chemistry from Kyoto University, Japan.

      At the same time, dynamics of b-glucan molecular association in artificial systems was also investigated to control and develop new types of super- and supra-molecular structure by focusing on non-crystalline cellulose.  Then, he proposed a concept of a new form of cellulose termed as Nematic Ordered Cellulose (NOC) which exhibits non crystalline yet ordered states (Biomacromolecules 2001). These findings create a new concept to understand how b-glucan chains associate and crystallize.

      NOC was found to exhibit unique characteristics; in particular, its surface properties provide a function of tracks or scaffolds for regulated movements of a fiber-production bacterium (Gluconacetobacter xylinus), which produces cellulose ribbon-like nanofibers with 40-60 nm in width accompanied with movements (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2002). Since the interaction between the produced cellulose nanofibers and specific sites of the oriented molecules on the NOC is very strong, NOC can be used as a template for the direction-controlled epitaxial deposition of the nanofibrils. Accordingly, the template could regulate and establish deposition of the patterned 3-D architecture of bacterial cellulose nanofibrils by culturing the bacteria on the NOC scaffold.

      He also attempted to reveal the exclusive structure-property relationship in order to extend the usage of these template films for the bacterium culture (J. Biosci. Bioeng 2012&2014), biomimic mineralization (Cellulose 2012) and three-dimensional cell culture (Biofabrication 2013). Then, the unique template technology using nano-patterned templates leaded to a hierarchical organizing design for 3-D nano/micro architecture of bio-based materials (“Bio-Alchemy”). 

      When he joined Kyushu University, Dr. Kondo proposed a novel nano-pulverization method for bio-based materials only using collision of a pair of high-speed water jets, termed as “Aqueous counter collision (ACC)” (Biomacromolecules, 2011). This method cleaves the weaker interactions such as van der Waals forces selectively without any damage to the molecular structure and finally results in liberating “cellulose nanofibrils” having both hydrophobic faces and hydrophilic faces in a fibril (=Janus type nanofibril) (Carbohydr. Polym. 2014). As an advantage, the ACC method is applicable to any material including carbon materials. The obtained nano-objects have been now extensively studied in basic nano-material science and their application in his laboratory. Chuetsu-Pulp Co. Ltd, Japan employed and manufactured the ACC-method for production of cellulose nanofibrils. By the contribution of the manufacturing, Dr. Kondo won the Japan Manufacturing Award: Award of the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, in 2017.

      He also found that plant protoplast secreted a micro-sized fiber into culture medium due to an environmental stress response. The fiber was a bundle of hollow sub-fibrils consisted of b-1,3-glucans. This study has focused on how the fibers form in response to intracellular and extracellular environmental stimuli (Planta. 2008, Holzforschung 2012,2014), together with detailed information of how cell wall is formed in response to stimuli.

      In 2021, he moved to the present university position as Endowed Chair. He founded his laboratory as an endowed research course at Institute of Agriculture, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) on July 1, 2022.

      Here, the objective contributes to establishment of sustainable society by pursuing developments of noble methods and bio-based materials, leading to future society. Currently, his lab focuses on the development of innovative plastic upcycling systems using cellulose nanofibrils.

      In addition to the above academic achievements, he has extensively contributed to the cellulose science society not only by generating more than 120 graduate students (produced 30 Ph.D. holders as chief supervisor), but by performing activities for academic societies, including program committee members (2005-2007) for ACS Division of Cellulose and Renewable Materials, and the executive committee members for The Cellulose Society of Japan for 20 years, including 2 years of vice president from 2013 and for The Japan Wood Research Society for 15 years including 2 years of vice president from 2019. During the period, in the year of 2017, Dr. Kondo played a role of the chairs simultaneously to organize 2 international symposiums, 4th International Cellulose Conference (ICC) 2017 and 3^rd Symposium on Bacterial NanoCellulose (BNC) in Fukuoka. In 2019, he was elected as Vice President of The Japan Wood Research Society (2000 members). He published 277 papers including reviews and books, and 22 patents.
