Cell Wall Science
The major research objective is to understand the
physical behavior of biological materials and the process
of tree growth, from a physical point of view.
Methodology extends over the physical, mechanical,
chemical and computing methods.
Generation processes of the physical properties and
the growth stresses of biological materials are investigated
by means of the field measurement in the worldwide forest,
laboratory research involving material testing,
electron-microscopic observation, X-ray and UV
spectroscopies, image analysis, chemical analysis and other
instrumental analysis as well as theoretical modeling.
On the other hand, some applied research is carried out
especially on the reduction of residual stresses in logs, the
quality of tropical fast growing species as well as non wood
forest resources, and about some problems on
environmental functions of dwelling.
