Section preparation using a microtome! Introducing examples of observing lens coating layers and multilayer films.

Lenses for glasses, cameras, and other devices are coated with various layers. In the case of glasses, multiple coating layers are applied, including a hard coat to protect plastic lenses, an anti-reflective coat to reduce light reflection, and a UV coat to block ultraviolet rays. These layers are applied as extremely thin films, so we observed their structure in cross-section. When observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), it was noted that a hard coat/multilayer film is applied on top of the lens substrate, and in the multilayer film, SiO and Nb films are alternately stacked. [Overview] ■ Cross-section preparation method - Prepared with a microtome - The lens removed from the frame was cut into small pieces and embedded in resin - Subsequently, a cross-section was prepared using a microtome, followed by optical microscopy observation, SEM observation, and EDX analysis. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Digitizing transparency and color into numerical data! Objectively evaluating transparency rate and yellowing degree!

This introduction covers the evaluation of transmittance and yellowing (yellowness) using a color difference meter. By making the product's constituent materials transparent and richly colored, necessary functional characteristics, artistic qualities, and design elements for the product's application are imparted. However, yellowing (discoloration) can occur due to the environment in which they are used, potentially compromising those characteristics. By quantifying transparency and color not through human perception but as numerical data, objective evaluation becomes possible. 【Overview】 ■ Principles of color difference measurement and acquired data (XYZ Yxy color space) - Light emitted from a light source passes through a transparent sample, and within an integrating sphere box, data on the transmitted wavelengths (transmittance) and converted color space data are obtained. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Measure the Raman spectrum! It is possible to obtain information about the structure and crystallinity of carbon materials.

Carbon materials include various types such as graphite, activated carbon, and carbon fibers, and are widely used in applications such as the active material for the negative electrode of lithium-ion batteries, additives for conductive plastics, inks, and CFRP. Our company evaluates the structural differences of carbon materials through Raman analysis. In the case of carbon black (CB) and activated carbon, the G-band peak becomes broader compared to graphite, and the full width at half maximum increases. This indicates that the crystallite size differs, with graphite having a larger crystallite size than CB and activated carbon. **Differences in Raman spectra due to carbon materials:** - Graphite shows a strong and sharp G-band around 1580 cm-1. - It indicates the disorder in the hexagonal structure, which is the unit cell of graphite, and the stacking of layers is more disordered. - In CB and activated carbon, the G-band peak is broader compared to graphite, and the full width at half maximum is larger. - Graphite has a larger crystallite size than CB and activated carbon. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

In February of this year, we inquired about "paperlogic" using the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's gray zone resolution system regarding the "provision of electronic contract services to the construction industry," and received a response stating that "paperlogic meets the standards related to construction contracts under the Construction Business Act Enforcement Regulations (Article 13-4, Paragraph 1, Item 1 (h) and Paragraph 2)." ◆ Accelerating DX in the Construction Industry with 'Official Approval' The construction industry faces challenges in digitizing contract operations due to the complexity of contracts, the presence of numerous stakeholders, and legal requirements and security concerns. However, due to the nature of the business, detailed contract operations occur frequently in the construction industry. Therefore, by digitizing contract operations, this sector can benefit significantly from cost reductions, such as stamp duty and labor costs, as well as shortened timeframes for contract execution. ◆ Package Plans for the Construction Industry Also Available paperlogic offers the 'paperlogic Construction Document DX Pocket' to facilitate smoother transactions between general contractors and partner companies.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
