A substance becomes a material only when used for human beings. In particular, ceramics can use all the elements of the periodic table as constituent materials, and it is indispensable to Japan such as semiconductor electronic materials, glass optical materials, medical materials, environmental and energy materials, etc. In recent years it has also become a powerful tool for radioactive material disposal. In this class, we will teach you why ceramics represent such characteristics from basic science, and explain the basic research at university and the applied research at company.
By the end of this course, students get the following knowledge of:
1) basic science of ceramics
2) function and application of ceramics
3) ceramics industry
ceramics, electric material, environmental material, biomaterial, energy material, materials informatics, artificial synthesis, anti-bacterial and antivirus material
