SMART PROCESSING DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL MATERIALS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE CONTROL

摘要

A new concept of the smart processing is proposed that can create highly functional materials and components by finely controlling the process energy and engineering structures. Novel materials of 3D photonic crystals and fractals for electromagnetic wave control are demonstrated which are constructed of dielectric ceramics and polymer by a CAD/CAM system of stereolithography. Freeform fabrication and modification of photonic crystals with diamond structure can open various applications to communication and sensing technology in GHz and THz range. Photonic fractal is the entirely new material which can strongly localize electromagnetic waves in the fractal structure without reflection and transmission. A wide variety of applications to communication, energy, and sensing are also expected.
