Organic and Bio-Nanomaterials Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies everything from organic nanoparticles to nanomedicines and organic batteries.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating drugs and batteries from organic nanoparticles
The Organic and Bio-Nanomaterials Lab (Kasai Lab) at the Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials covers a wide range of research themes, from the fabrication of organic nanoparticles to nanomedicines, organic batteries, catalysts, and CO2 separation materials.
One line of research creates anticancer nanomedicines and nano eye drops and investigates their pharmacological effects.
The lab also studies environmentally friendly organic batteries, organic solid catalysts intended as alternatives to precious metals, sustainable hydrogen production and storage from biomass, and highly durable CO2 separation materials.
Key terms
- Organic nanoparticle
- A tiny particle on the nanometer scale (one billionth of a meter), made of an organic compound containing carbon.
- Organic solid catalyst
- A solid catalyst made of organic compounds. It performs the role of driving chemical reactions in solid form.
- Biomass
- Resources derived from living organisms, such as plants.
