Cryogenic ion milling cross-section processing example (rubber products)

アイテス

We will introduce a case where cross-sections were created and observed by method regarding the adhesive parts of the tires of pull-back cars. When conducting SEM observations of the created cross-sections, fillers present inside the rubber were confirmed. It was found that the dispersion state of the fillers and the condition of the adhesive interface were not clear with fracture by liquid nitrogen or mechanical polishing. In contrast, the cross-sections created by cryo ion milling allow for clear observation of the dispersion state of the fillers contained within the rubber and the condition of the adhesive interface with the plastic substrate.

Analysis of multilayer materials using micro-Raman.
Depth-direction measurements using Raman spectroscopy! Material analysis of each layer is possible from the surface of multilayer films.

[Analysis Case] ■ The polarizer used in the liquid crystal panel has a structure that sandwiches a layer of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with added iodine between layers of triacetyl cellulose (TAC). ■ Continuous measurements of the polarizer in the depth direction using a micro-Raman spectrometer revealed a change from TAC to PVA+I2 to TAC to the adhesive layer as the depth increased. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
