Akihiko Toda

About

Akihiko Toda is a Professor at Hiroshima University in Japan. His research focuses on polymer crystallization kinetics, including Avrami analysis and the melting kinetics of polymer crystals. Recent publications explore aspects such as orientation distribution in isotactic polystyrene spherulites, the effects of pre-treatment on isotactic polypropylene crystallization, and the crystallization behavior of poly(butylene terephthalate). He employs advanced techniques like temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry to study enthalpy relaxation and recovery kinetics in polymers.
