Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the observation of a particle state intrinsic to a paint, by a method wherein a paint is applied on a smooth material coated with a water soluble sheet or a water soluble thin film and then, the water soluble sheet alone is dissolved in water to take out a painted film as sample with a binder being left. CONSTITUTION:A paint is applied on a smooth material coated with a water soluble sheet but insoluble to an organic solvent in the paint or a water soluble thin film and the sheet or the smooth material are dissolved by water to obtain a painted film. In this manner, as the paint is applied on a water soluble thin film instead of being applied directly to a high polymer resin sheet or the like, the water soluble thin film coated with the paint is kept floating on water in such a way that the water soluble thin film contacts water and after the water soluble thin film is dissolved, the paint left floating on the water surface is sampled by a copper mesh and water is dried away. This allows the separation of the paint from a paint carrier without use of any organic solvent and this simple method enables the observation of particle dispersion intrinsic to the paint without evaporation of carbon.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Paints often contain organic substances in addition to inorganic substances, such as organic pigment dispersants and polymeric resin binders. In the method of applying paint onto a molecular resin sheet carrier and dissolving the polymer resin sheet in an appropriate solvent to obtain a coating film, not only the polymer resin sheet but also the paint components are dissolved in the solvent, resulting in the formation of secondary particles. There was a problem in that the original state of dispersion of particles in the paint could not be observed due to subsequent agglomeration or dispersion. Even with the method of holding particles by carbon vapor deposition, which has improved this problem, there are disadvantages in that the dispersion state of the particles may change due to elution of the binder and that the carbon vapor deposition process takes time.

In view of the drawbacks of the conventional methods as described above, the present invention aims to provide a method that allows processing to be performed without causing deterioration of the binder, etc., and without carbon deposition, in order to observe the dispersion state of particles as they are. It is.

Means to Solve the Problem In the present invention, the paint is not applied directly to a polymeric resin sheet, but is applied to a water-soluble sheet such as gelatin or a smooth material coated with a water-soluble thin film, and after application, the paint is applied to a water-soluble sheet. This is a sample preparation method in which only the layer sheet is dissolved in water, and the coating film is taken out as a transmission electron microscopy sample with the binder remaining.

In this embodiment, a paint is applied to a smooth substance coated with a sheet or water-soluble thin film that is water-soluble and insoluble in the organic solvent in the paint, and then the sheet or smooth substance is dissolved in water to obtain a coating film. As described above, in this example, the paint is not applied directly to the polymer resin sheet, etc., but on the water-soluble thin film due to the structural acid L, so the water-soluble thin film coated with the paint is Float it in the water in the direction in which it touches the water, and after the water-soluble #1 sample has dissolved, sample the remaining paint floating on the water surface with a copper mesh, and dry and remove the water. This method is simple because the paint can be separated from the coated carrier without using an organic solvent, and furthermore, it is possible to observe the original particle dispersion of the paint without carbon vapor deposition.

The reason why this example is particularly effective in evaluating the dispersibility of magnetic paint is that the conventional method does not completely retain the particles due to the loss of particles, so the magnetic powder aggregates and repels due to its magnetic properties. This is because, while it is difficult to observe the original particle state, in this example, the binder exists as it is, so the above-mentioned disadvantage does not occur.
