レーザー誘起グラフェンが切り拓く未来
Shaping the future with laser-induced graphene
竹井 邦晴（北海道大学）
Abstract
Shaping the future with laser-induced graphene 
	 Kuniharu TAKEI
Recent advances in nanotechnology and electronic device engineering have accelerated global research utilizing nanomaterials. In particular, sensor applications that exploit structure and quantum effects are rapidly expanding. Among various nanomaterial-based technologies, laser-induced graphene (LIG) has attracted growing attention due to its simple, low-cost, and patternable fabrication process. LIG, typically formed by CO2 laser irradiation of polyimide, exhibits a unique three-dimensional porous graphene network with good conductivity and flexibility. This review outlines our recent studies on enhancing photothermal conversion and crystallinity in LIG formation through nanomaterial incorporation, and on the development of highly sensitive strain sensors and machine learning-assisted liquid property sensors capable of estimating viscosity and surface tension. Finally, the potential of LIG as a key technology for next-generation flexible electronics, smart sensing, and interdisciplinary innovation is discussed.  
高性能な生分解性プラスチックの開発を目指して
Development of high-performance biodegradable plastics
岩田 忠久（東京大学）
Abstract
Development of high-performance biodegradable plastics 
	Tadahisa IWATA
To address marine plastic pollution, there is a growing demand for high-performance biodegradable plastics that can be completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water by degrading-microorganisms. This paper introduces high-performance fiber processing technologies, enzyme-embedded biodegradable plastics, pH-responsive materials that degrade upon marine release, and biodegradation rate control technology developed in our laboratory.

ナノ材料を用いた細胞外小胞回収技術
Extracellular vesicle isolation technologies using nanomaterials
阿尻 大雅・安井 隆雄（名古屋大学）
Abstract
Extracellular vesicle isolation technologies using nanomaterials 
	Taiga AJIRI and Takao YASUI
Extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, are attracting growing attention across diverse fields such as medicine, bioengineering, and cosmetics. Because extracellular vesicles are extremely small particles, effective isolation and concentration technologies are essential. In this section, we first outline the features and limitations of conventional extracellular vesicle isolation methods, and then introduce emerging nanomaterial-based approaches and their future prospects.

力学極性ゲル ── 機械力・物体・生物を整流化する初めての材料
Mechanically polarized gel ── Rectification of forces, objects, and creatures 
石田 康博（理化学研究所）
Abstract
Mechanically polarized gel
 ─Rectification of forces, objects, and creatures 
 	Yasuhiro ISHIDA
The development of materials that respond to external stimuli, such as electric and magnetic fields and light, has profoundly transformed our daily lives. Meanwhile, materials with a polar response to mechanical force were previously unimaginable. Recently, however, we developed the first such material through an extremely simple design: incorporating diagonally oriented nanofillers within a gel. This material exhibits attractive functions that counteract the increase of entropy by rectifying mechanical forces, macroscopic objects, and even biological entities.

希土類錯体を用いた高輝度発光材料 ── 構造デザインと応用

Abstract
Bright luminescent materials using lanthanide complexes
─structural designs and applications
 
	Yasuchika HASEGAWA
Lanthanide ions exhibit characteristic luminescence based on the 4f orbitals. Lanthanide complexes with aromatic organic molecular ligands show bright luminescence under ligand excitation at UV region. In this report, their molecular designs and applications are introduced.

環境調和型高機能ポリオレフィン
Eco-friendly high-functional polyolefins
高野 重永・会田 昭二郎（ブリヂストン）
Abstract
Eco-friendly high-functional polyolefins 
	Shigenaga TAKANO and Shojiro KAITA
Polyethylene is the most widely used plastic material in the world, and improving its physical properties and recycling efficiency is a crucial issue for both industry and the environment. In this paper, we review the latest findings on the design, synthesis, structural control, and physical property evaluation of ethylene/styrene/butadiene terpolymers synthesized via a novel bifunctional dual-site polymerization method. Furthermore, we discuss recent advances in recycling technologies and applications in composite materials and summarize future perspectives.

建築構造材料と耐火性
Structural materials and fire resistance
加藤 雅樹（東京理科大学）
Abstract
Structural materials and fire resistance 
	Masaki KATO
In Japan, building fires are frequent, making it crucial to understand the fire resistance of building materials. This review provides an overview of the fire resistance of concrete, steel and wood, commonly used building materials, and also touches upon recent research trends, including material development that considers environmental factors.

金超原子の階層性ナノ物質
Hierarchical nanomaterials based on gold superatoms
福本 優斗・高野 慎二郎・佃 達哉（東京大学）
Abstract
Hierarchical nanomaterials based on gold superatoms 
	Yuto FUKUMOTO, Shinjiro TAKANO and Tatsuya TSUKUDA
Ligand-protected gold nanoclusters can be regarded as “chemically modified superatoms” due to their atom-like electronic structures. Extensive studies have revealed that their physicochemical properties can be tuned through the precise control of various structural parameters. This article presents several examples of such superatoms and introduces recent progress in developing novel materials─including quasimolecules and hierarchical assemblies─using these superatoms as building blocks.
