Profile Our research focuses on the development of non-oxide ceramics, mainly borides, and their application in biomaterials and in space engineering field . We also focus on the evaluation of the biocompatibility of materials and the elucidation of their mechanisms.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. Surface modification of metallic materials and examination of the biocompatibility

    ーSurface Modification of Ti with Shot Peening ーEvaluation of Cell Adhesion and Proliferation of Titanium and Other metallic materials

  2. Development of Thermal Protection System for Re-entry Space Vehicles

    ーMechanism of static and dynamic oxidation behavior of SiC and ZrB2-SiC

  3. Development of an arc heating wind tunnel

    ーHigh-enthalpy supersonic flow using a reactive gas as the working fluid to simulate reentry environment

  4. Microstructural evolution mechanism of transition metal diborides

    Investigation of quasi-ternary TiB2-W2B4-CrB2 composite
