We have developed
a new high performance, cost-effective titanium matrix
composite.
Ultrahigh
Density Powder Compaction
This technology uses a special lubricant to enable
the use of powder molding for super high pressure applications.
With material densities approaching that of iron, this
technology is expected to be applied to high-strength
automotive parts. (Joint research with Toyota
Motor Corporation)
Heat
Resistant Cast Aluminum Alloy for High-Performance Diesel
Pistons
This aluminum
alloy is resistant to both thermal fatigue and high temperatures.
It is expected to be applied to a wide range of engine
parts.
We have created
advanced materials possessing highly controlled nanoporous
structure that would bring about breakthrough in the fields
of energy, environment and other important technoogies.
Enzyme
Stabilization in Mesoporous Material
By setting
out to fuse bio- and materials-technologies, we have developed
"Super Enzyme." It is bound to stable folded-sheet
mesoporous material (FSM®*) that matches the molecular
size of enzymes, so the enzyme is resilient to demanding
environments such as high-temperatures or where exposed
to organic solvents. This technology is expected to be
applied to technologies that will be friendly to the environment,
such as chlorine-free pulp bio-bleaching. *FSM®: Folded Sheets Mesoporous
