) has developed a technique for manufacturing dendrimer den·dri·mer  
n.
A polymer in which the atoms are arranged in many branches and subbranches along a central backbone of carbon atoms. Also called cascade molecule.
, a kind of high-polymer material, in collaboration with Hakuto.

The new technique, which improves the chemical treatment process, can synthesize dendrimer in a shorter period of time and at a lower cost. Specifically, it helps reduce time required for synthesis to 1/10 the time it takes with the conventional method.

NICT licenses the relevant techniques to Hakuto. Accordingly, Hakuto plans to develop and introduce a new material to the market.

Dendrimer, which is currently used in organic electroluminescence displays, are expected to have a wider range of applications from genetic and bio reagents and molecular sensors to catalytic chemicals and dye-sensitised solar cells.

Details of this achievement will be presented at the nano tech 2006 International Nanotechnology Exhibition & Conference to be held at the Tokyo Big Sight Tokyo Big Sight (東京ビッグサイト   from February 21.
