| In our laboratory, we conduct research with the aim of developing technologies which contribute to the realization of a sustainable society from both the environmental and energy perspectives. To achieve it, from a materials perspective, we have developped low-environmental-impact materials by directly using microalgae as raw materials to produce resins. Moreover, in terms of energy, we have researched optical functional materials which utilize molecules with aggregation-induced emission effect and photon upconversion technology, aiming for a wide range of uses for this energy. Although the functionality of individual chemical substances is insufficient, we utilize intermolecular interactions to develop materials with diverse functions. Through the development of these innovative functional materials, we are contributing to the realization of a sustainable society. |
