       Figure 42 shows the awarding of the JEFFREY BYERS MEMORIAL BEST AWARD at SPIE to Himi and his collaborators. It was a short time after I started teaching anionic polymerization technology to Horiba’s engineers, and I am sincerely grateful for their hard work. The following is a list of the years and the number of times “Horibanian”, Himi and his colleagues, presented their research at international conferences.

■DSA International Symposium: 6 times from 2015~2018
■SPIE: 4 times between 2016~2019
■Photopolymer Conference: 3 times during the period 2016~2018

Apart from this, we have collaborated with Hitachi Chemical, Nagoya University and Nippon Paul to present our work at DSA International Conference 3 times.
