Research Center for Advanced Carbon Materials - AIST, Japan

Carbon materials, which have such excellent properties and adapt to the environment easily, are the objects of our studies in the Research Center for Advanced Carbon Materials. The aim of our research center is to establish the new science of the nano-space of carbon materials; to investigate the structures and the functions of nano-scale materials; to develop new carbon materials whose properties surpass those of current materials; to reveal new applications in various fields of applications like super-tribomaterials; and to develop the technique of the nano-scale characterization for carbon materials.
