Materials Technology Knowledge Management Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates technology starting from materials development, such as magnetic nanoparticles and ferrite magnets.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for technology development that is truly useful.
The Nakagawa-Seino Lab aims to develop truly useful technologies through materials development.
The lab works on the synthesis and development of materials such as ferrite magnets, magnetic nanoparticles, and noble metal nanoparticles.
It also aims to contribute to the purpose of the Division of Business Engineering to which it belongs: training engineers and researchers who also have management sense.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Technology Knowledge Management Chair, Nakagawa-Seino Lab."
Key terms
- Ferrite magnet
- A type of magnet. It comes in various compositions, and better performance leads to improved motor performance.
- Magnetic nanoparticles
- Nanometer-sized particles made of materials such as iron oxide. They respond in various ways when a magnetic field is applied from outside.
- Alternating magnetic field
- A magnetic field in which the north and south poles switch periodically. It is essential for imaging-based diagnosis and cancer treatment.
- Noble metal nanoparticles
- Nanometer-sized particles made of noble metals such as platinum. They are excellent as catalysts for fuel cells.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to connect research that fuses existing technologies with seeds of new technologies to the latent needs of society. Research is currently under way on ferrite magnets, magnetic nanoparticles, the use of alternating magnetic fields, and nanoparticle catalysts.
*Illustrative imageImproving Ferrite Magnet Performance
The lab synthesizes ferrite magnets of various compositions and investigates which elements at which positions in the crystal improve performance. The goal is to obtain guidelines for materials design.
*Illustrative imageDiagnosis and Treatment with Magnetic Nanoparticles
Magnetic nanoparticles, typified by iron oxide, respond in various ways to an external magnetic field. Using this property, the lab aims at diagnosis that images the inside of the body and cancer treatment that heats only the tumor site.
*Illustrative imageAlternating Magnetic Field Generators and Synthesis of Magnetic Particles
The lab designs alternating magnetic field generators that make magnetic nanoparticles work optimally. It also works on synthesizing magnetic particles in an alternating magnetic field, aiming to establish the underlying scientific principles in parallel with applied research.
*Illustrative imageNanoparticle Catalysts and Applications to Fuel Cells and Antibacterial Materials
To enhance catalytic function while reducing platinum use, the lab develops noble metal nanoparticles with various structures. Using its own synthesis method that employs radiation, it also develops antibacterial fibers with silver nanoparticles attached.
