Computers are used to create designs from fiber to thread and from thread to cloth. Shown above is the finished item; below, a simulation.Clothing design can use three-dimensional measurement, and clothing simulations can take into account clothing patterns and properties.We are developing methods to evaluate appearance, feel, and texture.Adopting a scientific approach to personal sensitivity (kansei) to find reasons for taste in clothingItislikelythatsoftmaterialssuchashigh-polymermaterialswillcontinuetoincreaseinimportanceinmanufacturing.High-polymermaterialsexhibitdiversepropertiesbecausetheshapesoftheirmoleculeschangeindiverseways.Further,theyarenotharmfultothebodyandhavesignificantpotentialforuseinnotonlyindustrial,butalsobiomedicalapplications.Ihopetocontributetothefuturedevelopmentofhighpolymermaterialsthroughresearchintotopicssuchasenvironmentallyfriendlypolymerslikepolysaccharidesthatcanbeobtainedfromlivingthingsandnewpolymer-blendmaterialscreatedbycombiningotherhigh-polymermaterials.Graduatesworkatchemical-relatedcompanies,whichhaveahighlevelofneedforstudentswhohavestudiedhigh-polymermaterials.ProfessorMasatoTakahashiProfessorTakahashitookhiscurrentpositionin2018afterearninghisDoctorateofEngineeringIn1986andattendingTokyoMetropolitanUniversity.Hisprincipalareaofresearchcentersoncontrollingthestructureofhigh-polymermaterials(includingformingandcontrollingthestructureofnaturalpolysaccharides,controllingthestructureofpolymerblends,andformingandcontrollingthestructureofamphiphilicpolymers).Gelssuchascarrageenangel(left)andcalciumalginategel(right)maybeusedasvulnerarycoveringmaterialsinbiomedicalscience.CaAlg gelCagtype1It may be possible to create materials with a variety of properties by controlling the polymer-blend structures such as sea-island structures (left) and bicontinuousstructures (right).Searching for the future potential of high-polymer materials: The 21st century as the age of soft materials14Department of Advanced Textile and KanseiEngineeringKanseiEngineeringDepartment of Advanced Textile and KanseiEngineeringKanseiEngineeringOutlook for researchOutlook for students after graduationOutlook for researchOutlook for students after graduation
