At our laboratory, we are conducting basic researches on the creation of nanocomposite thin films and the development of new functional materials through the formation of nanofibres, with the keywords "nanomaterials" and "nanopores". Since the department of Advanced Fibro-Science is an independent graduate school, we are recruiting a wide range of graduate students from inside and outside of our university and from inside and outside of Japan.
