Research Theme

Research and Development of Environmentally Compatible Composite Materials Utilizing Plant-Derived Raw Materials.

Explanation of the research

To utilize lignin, a plant-derived material that has been underexploited until now, we are analyzing its modification reactions using instrumental analysis such as NMR, ATR-IR and GC-MS.
By integrating analytical data from NMR, ATR-IR, GC-MS, and thermal analysis techniques like DSC and TG-DTA, we are elucidating the thermal behavior mechanisms crucial for composite molding and optimizing the process.
