AboutAbout the lab
Exploring materials that heal themselves through chemical reactions
The Advanced Materials Engineering Lab studies advanced composite materials that use chemical reactions as a function.
The advanced composite materials it studies are new materials that mimic the dynamic functions of living organisms.
One example, self-healing ceramics, is attracting attention as a material for next-generation aircraft.
On the lab's website, it is introduced as the "Nakao Lab."
Key terms
