Polymer Phase Structure Analyzer PP-1000
|
|
PP-1000 analyzes the structure of polymers and film in-situ (on site) and in real time by using the small angle light scattering method. This analyzer is able to analyze larger structures (μm order) compared to analyzers that use x-rays and neutron beams because it uses visible light. Evaluation of optical anisotropy and analysis of spherulite diameter of crystalline film can be carried out from Hv scattering which uses polarizers. Analysis of polymer blend correlation length can be carried out from Vv scattering.

Abbrevation of `High Dynamic Range Imaging`
Technology that combines multiple photographs of different exposure levels.
Principle
This measures in crossed-nicols (polarizer and analyzer are orthogonal).
A scattering pattern will appear if the scatterer is optically anisotropic (birefringent) which allows the user to evaluate the size, orderliness, and orientation of higher order structures of polymers.
(Measurement example) Analysis of the spherulite diameter of crystallization film
A four-leaf clover shape Hv scattering pattern is obtained when the spherulitic structure of crystalline polymers are being formed.
The scattering intensity reaches a maximum at azimuth angle 45°, and the scattering vector (q) is plotted on the horizontal axis and the scattering intensity (Is) is plotted on the vertical axis.
With this, a scattering profile with the measurement angle θmax, which is the maximum scattering intensity, can be obtained. Using this θmax, the spherulite radius can be calculated from the following equation:
～Introduction of each scattering pattern~
Measures with parallel nicols (polarizer and analyzer are parallel).
・Evaluation of phase separation process of polymer blends
・Size of `sea-island` structure (correlation length)
・Evaluation of particle size ※etc
※ The volume fraction of the `island` portion of the `sea-island` structure is required
(Example of measurement) Analysis of correlation length of phase separation structure
When it has a disordering structure such as a `sea-island` structure, a circular Vv scattering pattern can be obtained.
The correlation length ξ of a sample can be obtained using a Debye-Bueche plot (a graph plotting q2 on the horizontal axis and Is-1/2 on the vertical axis).
The analysis is based on the following equation. If the slope of the linearly approximated straight line is a and the intercept is b in the specified range, the correlation length ξ can be obtained from the following equation:
