13Outlook for researchFibers and films are fundamental materialsused in many products.theperformance of these materials leads to theevolution of these products - Comfortableclothing and seats, fuel-efficient automobiles,clearer display devices that consume lesspower, lighter and easier-to-use tools, morehuman-like robots, etc.Outlook for students after graduationconductingOutlook for researchIf we can clarify the relationships of thephysical phenomena that occur betweenclothing and the body based on sensation, Ibelieve it will be possible to predict thecomfort of clothing.Outlook for students after graduationMost graduates leverage their knowledgeand experience in textile engineering,computational mechanics, and computerprogramming to secure employment in thetextile and IT industries.Associate ProfessorTAKARADA WataruAssociate ProfessorHORIBA YosukeDepartment of 先進繊維・感性工学科Advanced Textile andKansei EngineeringDepartment of Advanced Textile andKansei EngineeringDr. Takarada is associate professoroftextile engineeringfrom 2024 after working at TokyoInstitute of Technology and TorayIndustries, Inc.His work focused specifically on therelationship between processingconditions, higher-order structureand physical properties of polymermaterials.Associate Professor Horiba, who holdsa Doctorate of Engineering from theShinshu University Graduate School ofEngineering, took his current positionin 2015 after working as an assistantprofessor in the Faculty of TextileScience and Technology at ShinshuUniversity. He is primarily involved inengineering,researchkanseiinandcomputationalclothing physiology.Direct compression test of single carbon fiber.Equipment to simultaneously measuring the diameter and speed of aspinning line: Spinning speed is 240 km/h.Fiber structure analysis by WAXD.（Stereo-complex crystal of PLA）faculty ofmechanics,Even when molecules with the same chemical structureare used in polymer materials, their physical propertiescan vary greatly with the order of the molecules ischanged. This molecularcalled molecular“structure”. We study what “structure” improves thephysical properties of a product, and how to process thepolymer to achieve that “structure”.I am engaged in research that uses computer simulation toreplicate clothing and the human body and predict and analyzemechanical and thermal phenomena. By allowing visualization ofphenomena that would otherwise be difficultto observe,simulation is expected to contribute greatly to the design andevaluation of clothing and textile products.Simulating pressure applied to clothing makes it possible to consider pressure distribution from motion at the design stageBy combining prediction of the distribution of body temperature and air temperature around the body with such indicators as the predicted mean vote (PMV), it will be possible to predict the thermal comfort of clothingImprovingformulating aUnderstanding the problem,hypothesis,andverifying the result. By developing theoreticalthinking skills, it is possible to work in a widerange of fields.experiments,state is先進繊維・感性工学科Understanding of polymer processing and creating valuable materialsAnalyzing clothing and textile products through computer simulation
