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.

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.

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.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

● To determine the sealing and waterproofing of sealed products based on pressure changes, it is not necessary to conduct tests that involve spraying water on the product or immersing it in water. ● Once the product is placed in a dedicated fixture within the inspection device, waterproofing can be quantitatively confirmed through automatic measurement. ● The target product size is W 300 × D 210 × H 100 mm or smaller. ● The target products include automotive cameras, smartphones, ECUs, small motors, and other packaging containers, and are effective for any products that require confirmation of sealing, waterproofing, and airtightness. ● For product specifications and details, please contact us.

The inspection targets of the "MSX-7003 series" are relatively large electronic devices. 【Inspection Targets】 - LED - Optical devices - High-frequency devices - Power semiconductors - IR sensors - Gyro sensors - Angular velocity sensors - Electrolytic capacitors, etc. The transport system is designed based on "pallet to pallet" to accommodate various types of work. The following three processes are performed automatically by the airtight inspection device: - Helium bombarding - Gross leak test - Fine leak test For packaged products smaller than 10 mm on each side, the work is set up using pallets or trays, followed by helium bombarding ↓ Then transported to the leak test process through high-speed handling ↓ Going through a continuous process from the gross leak test to the fine leak test ↓ And finally, discharged onto a pallet through high-speed handling. It also supports inline operations (the height of the pass line is 940 mm). Please watch the YouTube video from the link below.
