Inorganic Materials Chemistry Laboratory
The fusion of inorganic and organic materials in the nano world
Various functional materials are utilized in commonly used electronic equipment and devices. The research and development involved in making thin films of functional materials — which is what our laboratory engages in — is attracting much attention as a promising approach to reduce environmental burdens and the use of energy. For example, the hybrid membranes, which fuse organic and inorganic materials at the nano level, are expected to be applicable to organic electro-luminescence devices and electronic papers.College of Engineering | Applied Chemistry |
