Research & Technology Development R&D

We will respond to social needs in the areas of "health," "safety and security," "convenience and comfort," and "the environment" by leveraging our unique technologies and expertise to solve challenges. Furthermore, in pursuit of a circular society, we take on -difficult issues that impact society through industry-government-academia collaboration.
Technology Highlights
Melting Technology
We aim to fully utilize entire trees and have established a technology for gently melting wood through joint research with universities. This technology enables energy savings in the manufacturing process and the extraction of highly reactive substances other than cellulose contained in wood. Additionally, it aims to create new materials through the Biomass Product Trees approach.

Nanodiamond
Ultrasmall diamonds (nanodiamonds) created using Daicel's unique technology. We introduce a new future where nanodiamonds contribute to a carbon-negative society."
Examples of Co-Creation
In order to contribute to building a circular society, we introduce themes focused on the creation of new products and technologies in collaboration with partners who share common aspirations, enabling value creation together.
