"Dynamic Sliding Method Kit" effective for evaluating water-repellent and oil-repellent properties of fibers and glass.

The analysis of the sliding method using conventional contact angle meters incorporates the concepts of sliding velocity and sliding acceleration, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of droplet sliding behavior on inclined surfaces. This is expected to be widely adopted in the development of materials and coatings for water-repellent applications. (Technology provided by: Kanagawa Prefectural Institute of Industrial Technology, a local independent administrative agency) *KYOWA is pleased to offer customers a new proposal for a "dynamic sliding method" that adds time parameters to the conventional sliding method system.

Evaluate the surface treatment state of various powders such as fillers, pigments, and food-grade powders based on their wettability and permeability with solvents. Address the issues of powder contact angle measurement and "filling methods."

Powder is a collection of finely crushed solids and possesses unique properties that differ from the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. This leads to various challenges in research and development as well as in production environments. Today, powders have become essential in a wide range of fields, from pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics to advanced industries such as paints, batteries, and nanotechnology. While the use of powders and processed products is generally in the form of tablets or dispersions, in order for them to fulfill their roles as products, the penetration of liquids and wettability are important factors in almost all cases, regardless of the form. The measurement of liquid penetration speed and contact angles in powders is an old yet new technology, and by utilizing the latest know-how, it is possible to obtain reproducible data.

At the beginning of the seminar, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology will discuss the research and development related to ceramics 3D additive manufacturing that they have been working on, focusing on the 3D additive manufacturing process, powder preparation process for molding, debinding and sintering processes, as well as examples of production using ceramics 3D additive manufacturing, particularly with alumina and reaction-sintered silicon carbide. Following that, instructors from Shin-Toh V-Ceramics and As One, who are at the forefront of this field in Japan, will provide an easy-to-understand explanation for beginners about the development trends of various ceramics 3D printers from world-class companies like 3DCeram Sinto and Lithoz, as well as the latest additive manufacturing technologies that enable the creation of innovative parts, rapid part development, prototyping, and manufacturing, significant reductions in the number of parts, lightweight and compact designs, and reductions in manufacturing processes and workforce through complex shapes and integral molding, hollow and porous structures, and lattice structures that are impossible with conventional processing methods. Finally, Canon will introduce the latest trends in their newly developed high-performance ceramics materials that excel in selective laser melting (SLM) for 3D printers, which significantly reduce "shrinkage" during sintering, along with the characteristics of parts that can be produced using this method, additive manufacturing technology, target fields, and contract manufacturing services.

Nagoya Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting polyimide resins at the booth of Matsuo Sangyo Co., Ltd. during the 'Chemical Material Japan 2025' event held at Tokyo Big Sight. We also plan to showcase our developed products, including soluble polyimide, transparent polyimide, and porous polyimide, so we look forward to seeing you there.

In promoting DX and business reform projects, are your initiatives becoming "system construction first"? While you may have envisioned an ideal, it may not lead to "practical reforms" rooted in the field. For those facing such challenges, this seminar will provide hints for solutions. In this seminar, we will clearly explain the specific approach from "visualizing business processes" to "IT strategy (systemization strategy)" in business reform projects, incorporating case studies and practical steps. We will also introduce the essence of our "business process-focused, supportive consulting." Additionally, details on writing business flows, creating RFPs, and formulating systemization roadmaps will be covered in a separate seminar.
