■GCOE■Special given talk by Professor Kenji Miyatake, University of Yamanashi
Global COE program, Special Lecture
GCOE Program Leader,
Toshihiro Hirai
Global COE "International Center of Excellence on Fiber Engineering"hold special given talk on October 29, 2010 (Fri), inviting Professor, Dr. Kenji Miyatake from University of Yamanashi. special given talk details as follow.
*We encourage ALL doctoral students who major International Fiber Engineering course to attend this special given talk.
Date ：October 29, 2010 (Fri) 10:40 〜12:10
Place：Shinshu University,FTST Lecture Room 31, 3F
Lecturer： Clean Energy Research Center, University of Yamanashi Professor Kenji Miyatake
Title： Research on polymers for fuel cells at University of Yamanashi
Outline：Polymers are one of the key materials in the polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). In this lecture, research activities on polymeric materials for PEFCs at University of Yamanashi will be reviewed. Proton exchange polymers and dye-modified polymers are two main topics.
In the first half, the strategy to improve the proton conducting properties and durability of proton exchange membranes is presented. Effect of main chain structures, acid groups, and inorganic additives is of particular importance.
We have developed a series of multi-block copolymers containing highly localized sulfonic acid groups. The polymer membranes are highly proton conductive under fuel cell conditions due to the pronounced hydrophilic/hydrophobic phase separation. In the second half, use of gas permeable polymers for diagnosis of operating PEFCs is described. The polymers were modified with oxygen sensitive dye molecules and painted onto the gas flow field of a fuel cell in order to visualize oxygen concentration. Irradiation on the dye-containing polymer coatings and the measurement of phosphorescence from the dye enable mapping of oxygen concentration. The technique can be applicable to visualize other substances or parameters, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and temperature.

Dr.Zhang Xueguang, from Soochow University, China, will give a special lecture at Shinshu University Ueda Campus as follows:
Date: Friday 29 October 2010
Time: 11:10 - 12:10
Location: Auditorium
Title: Application of Stem cell and Silk Protein in Tissue Engineering
Language: English
Outline:Tissue engineering in a classical sense implies the use of organ-specific cells for seeding a scaffold ex vivo. There are two components: the seed cells that will replace the dead cells and regenerate the organ, and the supporting framework that will distribute the cells evenly and maintain the 3-D shape necessary for proper functioning of the organ. Stem cells, a good chose of seed cells, are found in all multi cellular organisms. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types. Commonly, stem cells mainly come from: Embryos formed during the blastocyst phase of embryological development (embryonic stem cells) and Adult tissue (adult stem cells, which include mesenchymal, hematopoietic stem cells, neural stem cells, etc), apart from this, in recent years, the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) are also recognized as a new source for stem cells.
All are welcome to attend

About COE for Education and Research of Micro-Nano Mechatronics
Our Center strives to foster “young researchers who dare to challenge unexploited fields” by building a novel interdisciplinary field based on micro-nano mechatronics. This field will promote “the world-highest-level of micro-nano mechatronics research with an emphasis on originality” from a viewpoint of not only the acquisition of advanced technology, but also social issues. To promote our program, the Department of Micro-Nano Systems Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, which has been a forerunner in the micro-machine field in the world, will play a central role, and top researchers in the fields of advanced materials, mechanical science, system measurement/control engineering, and advanced bio-medicine will work together. Our Center aims not only to create novel functional materials and advanced mechatronics, but also to discover breakthroughs in next-generation medicine. Utilizing UCLA and our affiliate international education and research environments, our program will cultivate “interdisciplinary research leaders who are internationally competitive” and can promote applications of micro-nano mechatronics, an advanced bio-medical field.
Shinshu University GCOE Program < Academic disciplines: Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering> (Selected in 2007)
International Center of Excellence on Fiber Engineering
Inherit, develop, and deepen the previous accomplishments of the 21st Century COE Advanced Fiber Engineering Education and Research Center; integrate conventional fiber engineering and cutting-edge science and technology; promote on the basis of international collaboration a far-reaching fiber engineering field extending from the generation of new nano-fibers through the elucidation of molecular-level structure control to the generation of technologies for fiber manufacturing, KANSEI assessment, and resource recycling through the generation of sophisticated hybrid functionality by means of multidimensional hierarchical structure control; and create lifestyles and culture that affect all aspects of life.
The purpose of our Center is to contribute to the development of the textile industry by developing researchers and engineers with first-rate, internationally recognized competence through cutting–edge research activities in the field of fiber engineering and, as a core international education and research base, to establish functions that can be utilized as personal and technology networks and functions that will make it an information hub.
This symposium has been held annually between Nagoya University GCOE and UCLA every year and this is the 5th time.
