The lab uses plasma to open up new materials and new reaction environments.
AboutAbout the lab
Opening new frontiers in materials science with plasma
Ito Lab works to pioneer new fields in plasma materials science, which uses plasma for making materials.
The lab uses environments where plasma coexists with liquids or fluids, such as generating plasma in supercritical fluids or solutions to synthesize nanomaterials.
It also works on advanced measurement techniques to understand reaction environments, such as using lasers to measure the electric field in plasma.
The lab is also taking on the challenge of creating new guidelines for analyzing and designing reaction environments that are far from equilibrium.
Key terms
- Plasma
- A state in which a gas is given a large amount of energy, causing its atoms and molecules to separate into electrons and ions. Lightning and auroras are examples.
- Supercritical fluid
- A substance at high temperature and pressure in which the distinction between liquid and gas disappears.
- Electric field
- The condition of space in which electric force acts, described by the strength and direction of that force.
- Elastomer
- A soft, rubber-like material that stretches when force is applied and returns to its original shape when released.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops new materials processes using nano- and microplasmas, supercritical fluid plasmas, and more. It also works to understand plasma reaction environments through advanced measurement and statistical analysis.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating aligned composite materials
The lab evaluated composite materials containing boron nitride coated with a carbon film, with controlled orientation, using electron spin resonance spectroscopy. This is also expected to contribute to controlling and designing the microstructure of heat-dissipating materials.
*Illustrative imageSoft insulating materials that conduct heat well
By modifying the surface of boron nitride particles with plasma and aligning them with an electric field, the lab achieved an insulating material that conducts heat as well as metal and is as soft as an elastomer.
*Illustrative imageExtracting plasma-generated substances with MOFs
Using porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the lab succeeded in selectively extracting substances produced by plasma in situ. This prevents them from being lost to secondary reactions.
*Illustrative imageSilver particles of uniform size
Using uniformly sized droplets ejected from an inkjet device as reaction environments affected by plasma, the lab synthesized silver particles with very little variation in size.
