Our Technologies

CDT scientists and engineers work on a wide range of topics aligned with Sumitomo Chemical’s (SCC) priority themes of Energy, Environment, ICT, Food and Health. We may be evaluating technology or developing materials in topics already identified by SCC, in other cases we will work up and demonstrate materials to address and target emerging markets and societal needs.

Our highly skilled research team design, synthesise and test new materials to enhance the functionality of the materials and develop future products for Sumitomo Chemical.

Some examples of specific areas we have recently or are current supporting SCC with are shown below:

 

Area	Examples of Recent Projects
Health	Antiviral materials Fluorescent tags for diagnostics
Food	Alternative protein sources Soil erosion prevention Waste water nutrient recovery Biorationals
ICT	Thermal conductive materials Organic photodetector Materials for nanolithography Materials for optical computing Materials for 5G and 6G
Energy	Battery recycling Battery materials Hydrogen generation Ammonia as a fuel
Environment	Biomanufacturing Monomaterial packaging Alternatives to conventional refrigeration technologies Hybrid catalysts
