Strategic Objective

Materials Science for desirable Selection — Constructing new principles toward a sustainable development society

Overview

This research area aims to establish basic science for developing and recycling materials and fundamental technologies to address the environmental and resource problems faced around the world. In order to respond to the demands of society, such as the depletion of resources, reduction of environmental impact, and increase in the use of recycled materials, it is important to create materials from raw materials that are not subject to such restrictions and to create fundamental technologies for the separation, recovery, and recycling of used materials as desired. It is also important that these technologies are interconnected and function as a recycling cycle.
We aim to contribute to realizing a resource-recycling society by constructing a new basic science for material creation and recycling based on various academic findings beyond the framework of conventional material science and by working on developing fundamental technologies for these processes.
