We exhibited at "Film Tech Japan 2023."

It has become possible to measure gel time with sheets such as glass fiber prepreg and carbon fiber prepreg.

Until now, it has been difficult to measure extremely thin prepreg sheets and carbon fiber prepreg sheets, but it is now possible to measure gel time while keeping them in sheet form. Measurement of liquids and powders is also possible. - Direct measurement of sheet-like materials eliminates the need for powdering PCB prepregs. Direct measurement of PCB prepregs, carbon prepregs, etc. is possible. Measurement of RCC (resin-coated copper foil) is also possible. - Measurement from thin to thick materials with a single sheet. Supports from 10um ultra-thin prepregs to thick non-woven fabrics. - Measurement of powder and liquid samples that was difficult with the stirring torque method. Broad compatibility with samples containing highly filled fillers, anaerobic samples, gel-like samples, etc. - Visualization of curing behavior in graphs. Calculates and graphs viscosity, phase difference, shear modulus, etc. from the measured stress. - Measurement of the viscoelasticity of fluids. Rheological measurement of non-Newtonian fluids such as samples that do not cure. - Confirmation of stress, viscosity, and phase data is possible.

• Testing Equipment and Devices

Accurately measure gel time! You can easily create control charts, histograms, and Pareto charts from statistical data.

To conduct effective and accurate analysis in the manufacturing field, it is important to objectively analyze actual data rather than relying on the experience or intuition of the measurer. The gel time measurement device "Madoka" can measure gel time with good reproducibility, eliminating the need for skilled techniques. Statistical methods can be employed to improve the efficiency of quality control operations. Challenges in Gel Time Measurement ■ Skilled techniques are required for measurement → By simply selecting the registered measurement conditions, the same results can be obtained regardless of the skill level of the person measuring. ■ Standardization of measurement criteria is difficult → Automated measurement allows for operation under the same conditions between factories and suppliers. ■ It takes time to compile the vast amount of data measured By utilizing dedicated software, management charts, Pareto charts, and histograms for the necessary resins and lots/periods can be easily created.

• Testing Equipment and Devices

It is possible to measure the thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and interfacial thermal resistance of TIMs in thin films of less than 50μm in conditions close to actual products.

The measurement samples (gel-like liquids, sheets, solids) are measured between two metal test heads with known thermal conductivity (aluminum or copper) in the shape of a cylinder or rectangular prism. The temperature gradient ΔT and heat flow Q in the sample are measured, and the effective thermal resistance Rtheff is determined. By applying pressure and changing the thickness of the sample while repeating the measurements, the thermal conductivity (W/m·K), thermal resistivity (mm²·K/W), and interfacial thermal resistivity (mm²·K/W) of the sample can be calculated using the formulas and graphs below. TIMA5 is a groundbreaking device that can control the sample thickness (gap), pressure, or sample temperature for measurements.
