Research Outline
Hybridization with organic materials is an excellent means of recovering and effectively utilizing min materials such as radionuclides. Since the function of such hybrids is expressed at the interface between organic and inorganic min, surface modification of inorganic substrates that can effectively demonstrate their functions with less organic min is important for the realization of a low-carbon society. We are using surface modification technology to develop functional materials such as adsorbents, nanocarriers for medical applications, and polymer solid electrolytes whose functions can be changed by changes in the external environment.
