Nomura-Zho-Dong Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that makes materials from powder and uses 3D printing to create new functions.
AboutAbout the lab
From powder, materials that do not yet exist.
The Nomura-Zho-Dong Lab studies how to create functional, tailor-made fine particles and apply them to powder metallurgy.
By deliberately arranging and "assembling" spherical fine particles of uniform size, the lab aims to create materials with functions that particles alone cannot achieve.
The lab is developing fine particles with the freeze-drying pulsated orifice ejection method, and studying composite materials of graphene and carbon nanotubes.
The lab also develops ultra-high-temperature heat-resistant materials and low-magnetic medical materials by 3D printing, starting from the production of the powder itself.
Key terms
- Powder metallurgy
- A method of making parts and materials by compacting powders, such as metal powders, and heating them
- Sintering
- A method of heating powder at a temperature below its melting point so that the particles bond together and solidify
- Carbon nanotubes
- Extremely thin tube-shaped substances made of carbon atoms linked in a mesh-like network
