Research objective

To create resilient industrial base technologies that contribute to carbon neutrality and wellbeing by deepening measurement and evaluation technologies for dielectrics, which are used as key materials in a wide range of fields from automobiles and aircraft to spacecraft, and by developing evaluation technologies that meet the current needs of use in various environments, and by adapting the developed evaluation technologies to a wide range of use needs around the world. By adapting the developed evaluation technologies to a wide range of usage needs around the world, we will create resilient industrial base technologies that contribute to carbon neutrality and wellbeing.

• ● Research and development of new sub-micro-level electrical property measurement methods.
• ● Establishment of a method to evaluate, estimate, and predict the Material Macro Properties of materials, such as breakdown electric field, conductive properties, and correlation between electrical properties and mechanical properties, from the microscopic properties at the molecular level by incorporating the knowledge of computational science such as first-principles calculations.
• ● Evaluation of various electrical properties of new functional materials by measurement and computational evaluation.
• ● Development of a charging measurement device for spacecraft.

The above will enable us to understand phenomena that cannot be explained by existing theories, and we expect to make a revolutionary change from conventional material development methods that rely heavily on empirical rules to a material design method with a molecular structure that controls the conductive structure of the material.
