Wing Leader FUKUYAMA Hiroyuki, PhD Professor, Institute of
Multidisciplinary Research
for Advanced Materials

MESSAGE

We will accelerate atomic-level design and multiscale bulk structure and microstructure control research fully supported by mathematical science through the base, and contribute to the realization of safe and strong urban spaces and environmentally friendly transportation and industrial equipment through the creation of innovative structural materials with ultra-high strength, ultra-light weight and low cost. We have established the structural and environmental resistance area and the soft matter/biotechnology area as two areas of special emphasis for promotion from FY2022. We will build a broad network that extends both inside and outside the university and lead materials science research at Tohoku University.

OBJECTIVE

We contribute to the realization of safe and robust urban spaces and environmentally friendly transportation and industrial equipment.

Two Areas in Structural Materials Wing

Structure and Environmental Resistant Area: The project leaders are Professor Hidemi Kato, who is researching metallic glasses that enable new developments in metallic materials, and Professor Yutaka S. Sato, who is developing a bonding method that can firmly connect various dissimilar materials, including dissimilar metals and metals and resins, without compromising their properties.

Soft Matter and Biomaterial Area: The project leaders are Professor Eriko Nango, who visualizes the functions of biomolecules with high spatial and temporal resolution using synchrotron radiation and other techniques, and Professor Kazuo Takimiya, who is developing new organic semiconductors by controlling the crystal structures of organic molecules.
