OKAMURA Laboratory

Department of Applied Chemistry, School of Engineering, Tokai University




Welcome to OKAMURA Lab !

Okamura Lab was launched on April, 2012.

There are a lot of kinds of polymers used in our daily life, including versatile polymers and the bio-friendly polymers (biocompatible and biodegradable polymers). Making use of the knowledge in polymer chemistry and physics, Okamura Lab focuses on the development of innovative, facile and straightforward techniques in the field of polymer-based nanomaterials (nanosheet, nanodisc, nanoribbon, etc.), which is dedicated to the improvement of human health, medical care, and global environment. The design, fabrication, characterization, and evaluation of nanomaterials in terms of a certain application under the framework of Engineering-Medicine or interdisciplinary collaboration is always in motion. Our mission is to exploit the unique nanoscale-emergent properties from polymers, and contribute our passion to the society by conveying the research outputs.
