Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study is the joint international research to propose new structural systems with multiple functions by introducing nanotechnology and bioscience. To achieve the purpose of this study, I stayed in Incheon National University (Korea, in 2016, for three monthes) and University of Cambridge (UK, in 2016, for three monthes).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

研究期間中に実施した研究内容のうち、竹の生物形態模倣に関わる新しい発見が、科学雑誌Newton2017年8月号に世界の注目される科学研究の一つとして、Science Sensor欄の記事として取り上げられた。さらに初年度仁川大学滞在時に投稿した論文「竹の節・組織構造が織り成す円筒体としての合理的な構造特性の理論的解明」が土木学会論文賞を受賞するなど、国内外で大きなインパクト、評価を得ることができた。
