We have been challenging to find out and apply the inherent functions of atomically single layer materials and nanospace materials to sustainable technologies. Single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and graphene are special surface solid substances, because all component carbon atoms face front and rear surfaces. These surface solids are idealized interface solids which should have superinterfacial functions. Then, we expect that the surface solids can be applied to create the outstanding catalysts, chemical reactors, adsorbents, sensors, membranes, surface-sensitive devices, and so on. The final goal of our research needs interdisciplinary collaborations with various scientists, engineers, and active students. I will be quite happy, if you could have an interest in our research to carry a fruitful collaboration through this homepage.

DR. H. OTSUKA RECEIVED BEST POSTER AWARD
Dr. H. Otsuka was awarded to Oral Presentation Award for Young Scientist at The 74th Divisional Meeting of Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry, Chemical Society of Japan (第74回コロイドおよび界面化学討論会、日本化学会)on September 12-15. This research is related to the colloidal interaction mediated-wrapping of inorganic crystals with graphene oxide. The precisely controlled interlayer channels between crystals and graphene oxide are potentially applicable to inducing excellent molecular sieving effect. [PHOTO] [PHOTO]
