Laboratory for Physical Chemistry in
Nanospace has been newly established on April, 2010, at Department of
Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Toyo University.
Our scientific interests will focus on
intermolecular interaction of condensed matter confined in
nanometer-sized space. We aim to clarify the specific properties of
condensed matter in nanospace from the microscopic viewpoint. In
addition, we also utilize the nanospace as a template for anisotropic
arrangement of the molecules. Our final goal is understanding of the
phsico-chemical properties of the condensed matter confined in
nanospace on the basis of the intermolecular interaction, and
developement of the new molecular materials controled using "nanospace
templete" for energy saving and ecological technology.
•Differential Thermal Analysis; DTA
•Differential Scanning Calorimetry; DSC
•LCR meter for conductivity and dielectric measurements
•Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance; NMR
Following subjects are in progress.
•Phase transition of the condensed matter induced by nano-confinement
•Proton transfer phanomenon in One-dimensional hydrogen bonding molecular chain
constracted into homogeneous nanochannels
•Depression of melting point of molecular fluid confined in nanospace
•Dynamic hydration structure of ions in electrolye solution confiend in nanospace
•Development of new NMR technique for molecular observation in nanospace
