AboutAbout the lab
Controlling interfaces at will to create new materials
The Hideki Sakai–Kenichi Sakai Lab studies how to precisely control the properties of the surfaces and interfaces of substances in order to create new materials and new functions.
Aiming to "control interfaces at will," the lab makes the development of novel surfactants and the evaluation of their physical properties a major pillar of its research.
The lab is also developing functional materials with various nanostructures, such as titania, silica, and hydroxyapatite, using nanosized molecular assemblies formed by surfactants as reaction fields.
The lab covers a wide range from basic to applied research, and also carries out joint research with companies.
The content introduced here is based on the lab's website as of around 2022.
Key terms
- Interface
- The boundary where substances meet. In substances reduced to the nanometer scale, interfacial properties become more pronounced
- Surfactant
- A substance that changes the properties of interfaces. The lab makes the development of new ones and the evaluation of their physical properties a pillar of its research
- Molecular assembly
- A nanosized structure formed when surfactant molecules gather together. The lab uses it as a reaction field for making materials
ResearchResearch themes
All substances, from everyday objects to industrial products, have surfaces and interfaces. By precisely controlling their properties, the lab aims to create new materials and give conventional substances new functions.
