Laboratory of Environmentally Benign Polymeric Materials
Welcome to Team Taniguchi!
In this research group, circulation of plastics has been focused, and “environmentally-benign” polymeric materials have been explored and developed. In the 20th Century called “Plastics Age”, wide variety of polymers or plastics were developed, which brought great benefits to us. Those are now essential and requisite in our daily life. However, most of them have been disposed of by incineration including thermal recycling, which results in not only depletion of fossil resources and large energy consumption, but also huge CO2 emission leading to global warming and climate change. In addition, the end-of-life plastics cause plastic pollutions, such as “microplastics”. We have tackled effective solutions for those serious environmental issues from an aspect of polymer materials science.
