Research on advanced fiber science and technology

1998-2002年“先进纤维科学与技术”示范中心建设计划的任务可以概括为三个方面，即启动研究工作、通过研究形成卓越中心、纺织研究机构的国际联网。在这些成果的基础上，我们成功地走出了21世纪高级纤维工程研究生教育与研究中心的COE计划。研究分8个小组进行，每个小组在宏伟的研究项目中设计了不同的使命。研究活动被概括为许多研究论文、专利和创业。在基础研究的基础上，与新型纤维材料科学相关的各个领域不断涌现，如纳米纤维技术、高性能纤维、新型生物纤维、光电纤维、器件开发技术、环境…的开发更多的清洁和保健纺织品，特别是功能化纤维材料，无纺布及其生产系统的开发，纺织生产机器人，感性工学的关键技术开发。这些都是未来纺织科学、工程和技术总体发展的基本成果。在这个COE项目中，我们将科学研究分为三类，即萌芽或基础研究、应用研究和工业企业商品化生产系统或企业家项目的研究。对于产品设计或产业化的研究，在市政府的支持下，我们在校园里成立了“ASAMA研究推广中心”(AREC)。这是继北海道大学之后，日本政府推出的第二个学术与产业交易促进计划。AREC设在新树大学纺织科学技术学院，2001年2月启动，目前已有5个项目在运行，并积极开展国际联网，与几所纺织研究和教育领域的知名大学签订了学术交流协议，并举办了多次纤维和纺织研究的国际会议。最近的活动包括在上田举行的第二届国际先进纤维科学与技术会议、第二届亚洲青年纤维科学与技术会议以及第一届日美英纤维与纺织科学三角会议。去年8月，我们在韩国德意志成立了亚洲纺织科学家和工程师协会(SOTSEA)，我们的教职员工被任命为SOTSEA的中心办公室。较少

The mission of the research project for establishing the center of excellence on "Advanced Fiber Science and Technology" from 1998 to 2002 can be summarized on three viewpoints that are, the activation of research works, the formation of center of excellence through the research, and the international networking of textile research institutes. On the basis of these accomplishments, we could successfully step out into the 21^<st> century COE program of "Center of Graduate Education and Research on Advanced Fiber Engineering".Research was carried out in 8 groups, and each of them has different mission designed in the grand research project. The research activities were summarized as many research papers, patents, and entrepreneurialization. Based on the basic researches, various fields relating to new fiber material science are emerging, such as nano fiber technologies, high performance fiber, new bio-fiber, optoelectdronic fiber, device developing technologies, development of environmen … More tal-clarification and health-care textiles, specifically functionalized fibrous materials, unwoven fabrics and their production system development, textile production robotics, essential technology development for Kansei-engineering. These are the fundamental results for the total development of the futuristic textile science, engineering, and technologies.In this COE project, we carried the scientific researches by classifying into three categories that were embryonic or basic research, application research, and the research of merchandize production system or entrepreneur project among the industrial firms. For the researches on product designing or industrialization, we established "Asama Research Extension Center" (AREC) in our campus under the support of municipality. After Hokkaido University, this is the second case of Japanese Government Transaction Promoting Program between Academic and Industrials. The AREC, located in the Faculty of Textile Science and Technology of Shinshu University, started from February, 2001 with five projects that are running now.International networking has also been actively carried out, we made academic exchange agreements among several universities of famous reputation in textile research and education, and had organized several international conferences on fiber and textile research. The most recent ones were the second International Conference on Advanced Fiber Science and Technologies in Ueda, the second Asian Young Scientist Conference on Fiber Science and Technologies, and the first Japan-US-UK Triangle Meeting on Fiber and Textile Science. In last August, we inaugurated the Society of Textile Scientists and Engineers in Asia (SOTSEA) in Degue, Korea, and our faculty was appointed to have the center office of SOTSEA. Less
