26Outlook for researchIn addition to research into organic EL, researchis also being actively conducted into organicsemiconductors and organic solar cells, andthese products are expected to contribute tothe realization of a n abundant and sustainablesociety.Outlook for students after graduationGraduates are employed by material, chemical,and electrical equipment manufacturers, whilesome students are employed by major printingcompanies that are involved in organic ELdevelopment.Outlook for researchOur photocatalytic reaction system has beenapplied tophoto-redoxefficient organicreactions, and will hopefully be applied tophotocatalytic reactions to produce chemicalresources from H2O and CO2 as an artificialphotosynthesis in the coming future.Outlook for students after graduationResearch work in our laboratory has raisedproblem-solving ability of students, who workfor companies in the fields of chemistry,chemical plant , electronics and machinery aftergraduating.ProfessorICHIKAWA MusubuProfessorUSAMI HisanaoDepartment ofChemistry and MaterialsDepartment ofChemistry and MaterialsPhotocatalyst particles onTextile Photocatalyst particles are deposited onprotection coating of each fiber.Langmuir-Blodgett processNano-complex film of soaps andions are transferred onto the glassplate to fabricate Nano-film ofphotocatalyst.Professor Ichikawa took his currentposition in 2013 after working at theUbe Industries Polymer ResearchCenter and as an assistant professorin theand associate professorFaculty ofandTechnology at Shinshu University.His areas of research are functionalmaterials and devices and physicalorganicchemistry,semiconductor devices and organicphotoelectric materials.Research Associate in ShinshuUniversity in 1992. Full professorin 2012. His research topics arephoto-catalyticphoto-catalyst,andreactorsmicrochannelfunctional textiles.An organic EL. Unlike LEDs, the principal characteristicof an organic EL, a conductive polymer is that it emitslight from a form like a thin membrane.An organic semiconductor material developed in theresearch lab is melted and applied to a circuit board tocreate a transistor. We are carrying out research to createexample uses that leverage its properties.Photocatalytic reactor with anetwork of light guide coatedwith photocatalystI am carrying out research into organic EL (organic LED), anarea that is the focus of increasing expectations concerningpotential applications in next-generation displays and lighting.Multinational corporations from outside Japan are also showinginterest, and my lab is cooperating with them. If successful, itwill become possible to make entire ceilings and walls intolighting and to make televisions and computer monitors thatcan be rolled up and carried around. Currently, our majorchallenge is to reduce power consumption.Our research topics are photocatalysts and photochemicalreactors for controlled photocatalytic oxidation of aromaticcompounds and photodecomposition of impurity in water.Photocatalyst nano-hybrids for the reactions are designedand fabricated by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) process andobserved by waveguide spectroscopy. We developed anovel photochemical reactor with a network of light guideto deliver excitation light and microchannel to transfersubstrate to each photocatalyst. Partial oxidation ofbenzene, water purification and self-cleaning textiles havebeen studied as some applications of the photocatalyticreaction systems.A photocatalyst reactor applied to an incubation plantof lettuceTextile ScienceincludingPhotocatalytic Reaction Systems Supported on Fibers and BeadsTapping organic EL to bring us future products such as televisions that can be rolled up and carried and ceilings with built-in lighting
