Full Program Details (Please see below if you are interested in the specifics) ────────────────────────────────────────────── [Lecture Abstract] Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess excellent mechanical and electrical properties and are expected to be applied in a wide range of fields such as electronics, energy, and composite materials. This lecture will explain the basic properties and advantages of CNTs, then focus on "dispersion liquid," which is an important intermediate state for creating components such as thin films, fibers, and composite materials. We will organize the preparation methods, required properties, and evaluation techniques for dispersion liquids and explain related technologies. Furthermore, we will introduce recent R&D trends and application examples in CNT research, focusing on dispersion liquids, including AI/machine learning and experimental automation using robots. This lecture aims to provide inspiration for technical development toward the utilization of CNTs, starting from CNT dispersion liquids.
