Achievements:
Associate Professor Junya KANO has addressed the development of a simulation method of three-dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) for understanding the ball grinding phenomena and prediction of the particle diameter of powder during ball milling. The impact energy of balls obtained from the simulation would be correlated with the grinding rate constant obtained from the ball grinding experiment, and its correlation is found to be linear, irrespective of the grinding machines and operational conditions. The correlation make possible to predict the particle diameter during ball grinding. The prediction method has already been applied for design of mills and the optimization of grinding operations in the industries.
The number of researchers on comminusion is decreasing recently and it is concerned about the inheritance and development of engineering on comminution. He is familiar with comminution and has a skill to do computer simulation. He is expected to contribute inheritance and development of the grinding technology. In addition, his research work is also expanding to the mechanochemical reaction of new materials creation and metal recycling by introducing new ideas. He is expected to contribute strongly the development in powder technology.

Achievements:
Prof. Hideki Ichikawa has been working on "nanostructure designs" for the functionalization of pharmaceutical preparations composed of nano- and micron-sized particulate systems and the development of the novel particulate DDS (drug delivery system). In particular, its core technology is the wet spray coating using a spouted bed process with a draft tube. While this process has been already used on an industrial scale in the pharmaceutical sector, its target has been limited to coarse particles larger than 200 m in diameter. In contrast, through experimental and theoretical studies on material/formulation design, improved equipment, mechanisms of film formation and agglomeration, he succeeded to extend its target up to 20 m particles. Based on this technology with the appropriate nanostructure designs of core particles and coating layers, he has created a number of high-performance particulate DDS including short-term delayed-release systems for chemoembolization therapy of cancer, long-term delayed-release systems for oral delivery of peptide drug and temperature-sensitive drug release systems, and these achievements are highly recognized by the worldwide research societies. Some of the findings have been diverted to the production processes of pharmaceutical preparations in the pharmaceutical manufacturers. In recent years, Prof. Ichikawa has also been developing an unprecedented in-water solid-phase synthesis of peptide drugs as an environment-friendly technology by applying wet ball-milling process. His aggressive challenge to the new developments in powder technology is expected to make him to be one of the global researchers responsible for the pharmaceutical sector as well as powder technology.
