The Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry carries out thorough education on the basics and application of chemistry, fosters researchers and engineers full of creativity, and provides education and research that looks towards future trends in the chemicals industry. Research topics include energy, which is the most important issue for human beings today, fields related to living organisms, functional materials and chemistry that is based on environmental harmony. In addition, as the gap between the basic scholastic ability of students and scientific technology, which is becoming specialized, should be filled, students are guided to true understanding of academics through experiences based on labs and discussions and easily understandable lectures.
Research Groups & Research Areas
-
Organic / Macromolecular Chemistry
Organic chemistry is an area that combines carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other atoms to create organic compounds, making up food seasonings, pharmaceutical products, as well as liquid crystal TVs, plastics, apparel and almost all other products for everyday use.
Arimitsu Research Group / Gunji Research Group / Nakayama Research Group / Sakai Research Group
-
Physical Chemistry
In this area, you will learn about and research on the structure, physical properties and reactions of substances or the molecules and compounds making up those substances. Based on the discovered knowledge, you will also develop new advanced functional material, energy conversion material, biomimetic material, and the like.
Sakai(H)-Sakai(K) Research Group / Terashima Research Group / Yuasa-Kondo Research Group
-
Inorganic / Analytical / Physical Chemistry
You are surrounded by many inorganic and metal materials, including lithium ion batteries, magnesium secondary batteries, capacitors, superconductors, ferroelectrics, thermoelectric conversion materials, environmental catalysts, and so forth. In this field, you systematically learn theories and principles indispensable for creating these functional materials.
