Outline Activities
Polymer Processing : We have developed the computer simulation techniques for various kinds of processes encountered in the polymer processing. The prediction techniques of materials behavior in twin screw extruders can evaluate the effects of screw configulation and other conditions on the mixing performance. We also developed the various kinds of molding processes including the viscoelastic flow and deformation and use the explanation of physical mechanism for various phenomena appearing in the polymer processing. Our goal is the establishment of process analysis system for the whole process from materials to final products.
Biochemical Engineering : The development and use of scaffold are very important in the field of artificial organs or regenerative medicine. We are trying to the design of scaffold and its processing from the viewpoint of three-dimensional structure as well as material characteristics. The developed scaffold with optimal structure will be applied to the development of organoid formation technique of cell and artificial organs. We also study toward the development of the novel medical treatment based on the field of chemical engineering including the reaction and mass transfer.

  • Study on Development of Hybrid Artificial Liver Support System
    keyword : hybrid artificial liver, bioreactor, artificial organ, regenerative medicine, stem cell
    2002.04Study on Development of Hybrid Artificial Liver Support System (HALSS) We have developed two types of HALSS that use hepatocyte organoid culture. One is a PUF-HALSS comprising a bioreactor using polyurethane foam (PUF). In the bioreactor hepatocytes were immobilized in the pores of PUF and formed spheroid, and maintained liver-specific functions for at least ten days in vitro. The other is a LLS-HALSS that used a bioreactor containing hollow fibers with a microregular arrangement. Hepatocytes were immobilized in the extracapillary space and formed organoids by centrifugation. LLS-HALSS achieved long term maintenance of liver-specific functions for at least two months in vitro. In animal experiments, each HALSS was effective in supporting liver function, stabilization of general conditions and recovery from liver failure state. These results indicate that these HALSS may be useful to treat liver failure patients until liver transplantation or until regeneration of the native liver.
