Laboratory of Forest Chemistry

Now that we believe in the general translation power of AI-assisted tools,
we have decided to unify the Japanese and English websites.

This decision is also because dual-site administration requires considerable effort,
as we are aware that CMS often requires system, security, and plugin updates.

Research

Woody biomass, which has been used for various purposes and applications since ancient times, is an indispensable and important material that enriches our lives today.
However, there are still many unknowns regarding the formation process, structure, and characteristics of woody biomass.
Elucidating these issues and promoting further utilization of woody biomass is an essential task for realizing a sustainable society.
Our laboratory promotes research on the formation process and structure of woody biomass as well as its advanced utilization through a chemical approach.
In the former case, we aim to elucidate the biological mechanism of woody biomass formation by collecting information on the chemical structure, quantity, and spatiotemporal arrangement of the woody components.
For the latter, we will elucidate the mechanism of expressing functions and properties, primarily through the combined evaluation of physical properties, structure, and state, to optimize existing utilization methods and create new functional materials.
Furthermore, we are challenging ourselves to establish new measurement and evaluation methods that are necessary to carry out variable research.
We are also actively engaged in collaborative research with other fields, utilizing new measurement and evaluation methods.
