Welcome to Kobiro Laboratory
Joint welcome party of Ohtani and Kobiro laboratories for the 3rd year students was held on 16th July at a river beach of Monobe.
INTRODUCTION
We have demonstrated novel organic transformations and organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticle synthesis in supercritical fluids.
When a fluid is heated under pressure, it reaches a new state different from liquid and vapor at some temperature and pressure, which are so called critical temperature and critical pressure. The fluid situates in the region exceeding from the critical point is called as supercritical fluid. The supercritical fluids showes quite unique properties different from the original fluid. We are performing basic and applied research on organic transformations and organic-inorganic nanoparticle synthesis in the supercritical fluids.
