Analysis of organic-inorganic composite materials using FT-IR and EDX.

Here is an example of analyzing organic-inorganic composite materials using FT-IR and SEM-EDX!

We will introduce the analysis of organic and inorganic composite materials using FT-IR and EDX. FT-IR measurements were conducted on the glossy and non-glossy areas of the surface of the PET bottle label, and the IR spectra differed between the glossy and non-glossy areas. Additionally, SEM-EDX measurements were performed on the glossy and non-glossy areas, and the EDX spectrum and backscattered electron image revealed that the non-glossy area contained sulfur (S) and barium (Ba), which were not detected in the glossy area. [Analysis Content] ■ Organic analysis using FT-IR - FT-IR measurements on the glossy and non-glossy areas of the PET bottle label surface ■ Inorganic analysis using SEM-EDX - SEM-EDX measurements on the glossy and non-glossy areas *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Business Intelligence and Data Analysis

This year, we are introducing new additions! We will introduce the features of the three basic measurement methods.

There are three main measurement methods for "microscopic FT-IR": "transmission method," "reflection method," and "ATR method." In "microscopic FT-IR," which combines FT-IR with an optical microscope, it is possible to measure small substances on the order of several tens of micrometers that are difficult to measure with conventional FT-IR, using an aperture (field stop). While the transmission method is the basic measurement method in microscopic FT-IR measurements, the reflection method or ATR method may be more suitable depending on the shape of the sample and the feasibility of sampling. 【Characteristics of Measurement Methods】 ■ Transmission Method - Infrared light is irradiated onto the sample, and the transmitted light is measured. - Information is obtained from the thickness of the material that the infrared light has passed through. ■ Reflection Method - Infrared light is irradiated onto the sample, and the reflected light is measured. - Information is obtained from the surface of the sample. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Sample 1, including comparison with Ref! Summarize and conduct candidate analytical methods.

We would like to introduce our "Chemical Analysis Concierge Service." When conducting component analysis of foreign substances or stains on products, it can be challenging to determine whether organic analysis or inorganic analysis is more suitable, and which specific analysis method within organic or inorganic analysis is the best fit. We provide a comprehensive service for customers who are struggling with the selection of analysis methods. Since each analytical instrument can measure different targets, it is necessary to choose a method that aligns with your objectives based on the information available. 【Features】 ■ Reporting only the data for which results have been obtained ■ Results report can include up to 2 methods ■ If you wish to receive results for more than 3 methods, additional costs will apply *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Contract Analysis

Essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials! Introducing examples of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials.

Organic materials such as solvents, additives, pharmaceuticals, and plastics are essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials. They have a wide variety of types due to combinations of light elements, and their specificity arises from structures, intermolecular forces, and electron behavior. However, it seems that chemical instrumentation analysis and evaluation are necessary for a fundamental understanding of their properties. This document presents examples of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials. [Contents] ■ FT-IR analysis ■ GC-MS analysis ■ Molecular weight distribution evaluation by GPC (SEC) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Observation of samples and elemental analysis are possible! It can be utilized not only in the semiconductor and electronic components fields but also in life sciences and biological fields.

We handle the tabletop SEM (scanning electron microscope) 'TM3030Plus' manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech. It has been half a century since SEM observation became common, and it has become an important observation method in various fields. With the "charge reduction mode" of the tabletop SEM, it is possible to observe and analyze samples that cannot be observed with FE-SEM. This capability is applicable not only in the semiconductor and electronic components fields but also in life sciences and biological fields. 【Features】 - For conductive samples such as semiconductors and electronic components, SEM observation is mainly recommended in normal/conductive mode. - For non-conductive samples such as plastics, paper, rubber, ceramics, and biological samples containing moisture or oil, SEM observation in surface/normal/charge prevention mode is recommended. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Electron microscope

We conduct surface analysis, foreign substance analysis, and organic composition analysis.

At AITES, we propose and conduct contract analysis menus suitable for the purpose and sample, including the analysis of organic and inorganic substances, foreign substances, and surface analysis. In this department, we perform component analysis of microscopic foreign substances using advanced sampling techniques, as well as impurity analysis in samples, conducting both qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic and inorganic components. Additionally, we analyze the surface of samples for contamination and oxidation states. 【Service List】 ■ Component analysis of epoxy resin curing agents using Pyrolysis GC/MS ■ Analysis of microscopic organic foreign substances using Imaging FT-IR ■ Analysis of microscopic foreign substances using Micro-Raman spectroscopy ■ Ion Chromatography (IC) analysis, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
