2023Inamori Research GrantsScience & Engineering
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the Inamori Research Grant. I will make every effort to establish a method for the fabrication of apatite ultra-thin films, which no one in the world has succeeded in fabricating before.
In this study, we fabricated nanosheets from octacalcium phosphate (OCP) related compounds and attempted to coat them onto a substrate. As a result, it was found that delamination of OCP related compounds is difficult. On the other hand, we discovered that these compounds have flexibility, and succeeded in coating curved surfaces by them with a thickness of about 100 nm. The results of this research are expected to be a technology for forming ultra-thin biocompatible coatings.
