Pure & Applied Chemistry

Applications of applied chemistry

The development of science and technology has been giving us a lot of benefits. Chemistry is a field which has greatly contributed to the development. The advanced technology has often required the basic research. Therefore, the Course of Applied Chemistry covers a variety of chemical fields, working on various materials including metal compounds, inorganic and organic pesticides, polymers, proteins etc., doing basic researches and their applications. The Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry field is trying to contribute to the progress of the modern society by devising novel processes for material synthesis and creating new functional materials, based on the profound understanding and precise control of a variety of chemical reactions. The Physical and Inorganic Chemistry field is focusing to functional solid materials having nanostructures and microstructures of inorganic and organic compounds, polymer, and their hybrid systems from the viewpoints of their fundamental physiochemical properties as well as their applications to catalysts, sensors, electronic devices, and so on. There are research groups focusing on structure function relationships in biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, methods for separation and wastewater treatment, biotechnology, protein engineering, and applications of protein production methods to synthetic biology and medicine.
