ISHIFUNE Manabu: Associate Professor Doctor of Engineering; Department/Applied Chemistry　 Graduate school/Molecular and Material Engineering

We synthesize organic macromolecules that offer various functions such as temperature-based changes in physical properties and applications to optical storage. We are working to develop environmentally friendly catalysts and functional electrodes by modifying the surface of platinum and carbon fibers with these molecules.
