Abstract
Journal of Materials Chemistry profiles Tomiki Ikeda, Associate Editor for Japan, and Editorial Board member Martin Jansen.
Tomiki Ikeda received his BSc (1973), MSc (1975) and PhD (1978) in polymer chemistry from Kyoto University, where he studied photoresponsive behavior of polymers under the supervision of Professors Seizo Okamura and Hitoshi Yamaoka. He then pursued postdoctoral research in biologically active polymers, especially polymeric disinfectants, with Professors C. H. Bamford and A. Ledwith at the University of Liverpool, UK, in a joint research scheme with Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), enjoying an English lifestyle for 3 years. He joined Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1981 working in the field of polymer chemistry, photochemistry and materials chemistry. In 1994, he was promoted to full professor of polymer chemistry. He was elected Vice-President of the Japanese Liquid Crystal Society in 2003, Vice-President of the Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ) in 2005, and Head Vice-President of the CSJ in 2006. He received “The Award of the Society of Polymer Science, Japan” in 2003 and “The Award of the Japanese Liquid Crystal Society” in 1999. In February 2007 he was appointed as the Japanese Associate Editor of Journal of Materials Chemistry.

Martin Jansen studied chemistry at the Justus-Liebig-University of Giessen, Germany, where he gained his doctorate in 1973. After his habilitation in 1978, he accepted a professorial chair for inorganic chemistry at the University of Hannover. In 1987 he moved to the Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University of Bonn. Since 1998, he has been a member of the scientific council of the Max-Planck Society and a director at the Max-Planck Institute for solid-state research in Stuttgart. His main research lies in the fields of preparative solid-state chemistry, crystal chemistry, materials research, and the structure–property relationships of solids. Among others, he has been awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz prize, the Otto Bayer prize, and the Alfred Stock Gedächtnis prize for his work. He is a member of the Nordrhein-Westfälische Akademie der Wissenschaften (corresponding member), the Academia Europaea, the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
