Optically active thermoresponsive polymers have been newly synthesized by polymerization of amino acid-derived acrylamide type monomers. The resulting polymers have successfully applied for the stereoselective encapsulation of organic molecules and environmental benign organic reactions. Moreover the thermoresponsive polymers have been fixed on the carbon-based materials by using living radical polymerization technique. The resulting functionalized carbon-based composites have been characterized in detail and used as functional electrodes in several electrochemical model reactions in aqueous media. Preliminary results indicating the switching phenomena of the electron transfer on the electrode were also obtained.
