Profile I am exploring new functional materials, and have found some with my students. Fortunately, all the materials we’re focusing on at this time are ones developed by ourselves. Now we are trying to elucidate the mechanism of the functionalities and their structure formation.
I prefer understanding phenomena based on physics to on phenomenology. That is, each research member is required to approach deep insight behind the phenomena. I regard students as both subject to instruct and equal co-researcher.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. functionalized glass surface, porous structure, anti-reflection, superhydrophilicity, anti-fogging, anti-fouling

    We have developed a hierarchical nanoporous layer (HNL) which is characterized by porous structure with a diameter of few tens of nm on its apparent surface and gradually decreases its diameter as a function of depth. This structure is spontaneously formed in some alkaline etching circumstances. Besides the fundamental science of the structure formation, functionalities the HNL provides are gathering much attention: wide-angle anti-reflection (AR) effect, strong and long-lasting superhydrophilicity which leads to anti-fogging and anti-fouling and so on. We are running various projects to approach the mechanism elucidation and practical applications.

  2. Conductive Polymers, thermoelectricity, conformation

    We are developping a methodology that enhances the thermoelectric performance of conductive polymers, the polythiophene family). We have recently achieved two-digit enhancement on the thermoelectric force, Seebeck coefficient, of a Poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) based material. In order to elucidate the enhancement mechanism that enables further improvement, we are approaching the phenomenon from both theoretical and experimental aspects.
