Interface Systems Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uses colloid technology to design the interfaces between fine particles and materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Bridging basic research and practical use
The Interface Systems Engineering Lab studies the surfaces and interfaces of composite materials and soft materials.
The lab produces colloids, in which small particles are dispersed in a liquid, through processes with a low environmental impact.
It applies colloid technology to CFRTP, a material that combines carbon fiber and resin.
The lab is also developing a new reactor for making colloids at the nanoscale.
Key terms
- Colloid
- A state in which particles too small to see are dispersed in a liquid or other medium
- Interface
- The boundary where two substances with different properties meet
- CFRTP
- A composite material made of a thermoplastic resin (a resin that softens when heated) reinforced with carbon fiber

ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts research that bridges the gap between the results of basic research and practical use. It applies colloid technology to highly practical materials and is developing a new reactor for making nanosized colloids.
*Illustrative imageStrengthening the interface between carbon fiber and resin
This research combines carbon fiber with resin microparticles to improve adhesion at the carbon fiber–resin interface and increase the strength of CFRTP.
*Illustrative imageSponge reactor
A sponge-like network with gaps finer than 200 µm is placed inside the reactor to suppress the movement of solvent molecules and fine particles. This physically prevents nanoparticles from sticking together, and the lab is developing a reactor that produces nanosized colloids.
