The first step in solving thermal issues! [For manufacturers and developers of electronic devices] Basics of thermal conductivity and measurement methods, measurement examples.

Introducing devices for measuring the thermal diffusivity of sheet-like and plate-like materials, as well as thermal evaluation devices for fiber orientation distribution!

Introducing Bethel's thermal property measurement devices. The "Thermo Wave Analyzer TA33/35" is a measurement device for the thermal diffusivity of sheet and plate materials, capable of measuring the thermal diffusivity of functional materials. The "Thermal Microscope TM" has been commercialized through joint development with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology's Measurement Standards Division, allowing for measurements in micro-regions and thin films. Additionally, we offer the "Thermal Imaging Scope TSI," which visualizes thermal conduction paths using infrared cameras and lasers, as well as the "Fiber Orientation Evaluation System TEFOD." 【Features of the Thermo Wave Analyzer TA33/35】 ■ High freedom of sample shape ■ Dynamic range from organic films to diamonds ■ Anisotropy evaluation through measurements in horizontal and vertical directions ■ Evaluation of defects and irregularities through distribution measurements *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Other measurement, recording and measuring instruments

For evaluating thermal conductivity in thin films and micro-regions such as fillers, ceramics, insulating thin films, and semiconductor thin films!

This device is an innovative thermal property measurement instrument that boasts world-class minimal resolution. It can measure the thermal properties of samples in detail at the point, line, and surface levels, accurately capturing thermal property value distributions on the micron order that were difficult to achieve with conventional devices. Furthermore, this device realizes high resolution while being a non-contact measurement tool, pioneering areas that were previously impossible with traditional technology. Equipped with the world's first technology, it can directly measure thermal conductivity under favorable conditions in addition to measuring thermal diffusivity. This device demonstrates unparalleled performance in situations requiring precise thermal property analysis in research and development. 〇 About the Measurement Principle 〇 The measurement principle of this device is based on the thermoreflectance method. This is one of the techniques for measuring the surface temperature of materials with high precision, particularly used to investigate the thermal characteristics of micro-regions and thin film materials. This method detects changes in reflectivity associated with changes in the surface temperature of the material and measures the temperature from those changes. The results obtained are expressed as the parameter known as thermal diffusivity. Thermal diffusivity is a physical quantity that indicates how much heat is absorbed when two substances are in contact. It can be mutually converted into thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity based on specific heat and density.

• Microscope

A fiber orientation evaluation system that is easy to analyze and understand! Anyone can safely perform measurements.

It is a unique device that evaluates the direction of fibers using heat flow. The 'TEFOD' is a fiber orientation evaluation system that can grasp the fiber state (orientation, relative comparison of quantity, variability) within a sample by utilizing heat flow. By observing heat flow, it allows for macro evaluation rather than micro evaluation. Evaluating the overall fiber orientation enables broader analysis. The measurement time is very quick at 1 minute (for one measurement point), and since it can be evaluated non-destructively, different evaluations can be performed on the same sample. The sample is spot-heated with a laser, and the heat transfer is observed using an infrared camera. By analyzing the observed infrared images, the thermal diffusivity can be quantified. Additionally, this product does not use X-rays, allowing anyone to perform measurements safely. 〇 About the Measurement Principle 〇 It is a type of periodic heating method called fiber orientation identification method. Spot periodic heating is performed, and the heat diffused in the plane direction is observed with an infrared camera at 360°. The thermal images obtained by the infrared camera are analyzed and quantified into thermal diffusivity. By converting it into a polar coordinate graph, the fiber orientation angle can be intuitively visualized.

[Speaker] Yohei Kawada, Director of the Resource Circulation Promotion Office, Resource Circulation Division, Ministry of the Environment [Key Lecture Content] In Europe, a proposal for the ELV regulation has been made, which includes the mandatory minimum content of recycled plastics in automobiles. Building a recycled plastic market to support the stable production of our country's automobile industry is an urgent and important issue. Through initiatives for collaboration between industry and academia, the Ministry of the Environment has established a "Consortium for Building a Market for Recycled Materials for Automobiles" since last year, aimed at advancing the construction of a recycled plastic market. This lecture will introduce the initiatives of the consortium and the concept of a centralized hub for establishing a stable supply system for recycled plastics for automobiles. [Lecture Items] 1. Current status and "desired state" of recycled plastics for automobiles 2. Direction of discussions for the 2025 Industry-Academia-Government Consortium 3. Current situation analysis and BAU (Business As Usual) scenario 4. Towards the establishment of a supply system for recycled plastics for automobiles 5. Direction for appealing the value of recycled plastics for building the domestic market 6. Q&A / Business card exchange *The content of the lecture may change based on the latest trends.
