Advanced Materials Synthesis and Microstructural Characterization Using Explosive at Sojo University

In the research center for advances in impact engineering established in Sojo university, advanced materials have been synthesized by using shock wave and their microstructure has been investigated. An extremely high shock pressure and a dynamic hot compaction technique were developed, and the synthesis of the advanced materials and composites was succeeded. Transmission electron microscopy observations revealed unique microstructures of such materials obtained by our original advanced technique.
