先進機能材料研究室

Polymers, ceramics and metals are materials used widely in industry. Their applications are widespread from structural uses to a variety of functional uses. We devote our efforts to develop these materials and their nanocomposites to be applied in advanced industry. We focus on the nanostructure control of the materials to realize next generation electronic, optical, and energy devices. Another important challenge is the development of environmental-conscious material processing technology. Our laboratory is located in the Osaka Research Institute of Industrial Science and Technology, Morinomiya Center near the downtown area of Osaka city. Our laboratory conducts intimate collaborations with engineers from private companies; this leads to the rapid application of the developed materials into practical devices.
