Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a method of producing a polymer sample for X-ray 3D image analysis,

The present invention relates to a method for producing a polymer sample for X-ray 3D image analysis.

When various polymers are prepared, it is common to incorporate an internal filler such as silica in order to improve the physical properties of the polymer itself.

A transmission electron microscope (TEM) has been widely used as a technique for analyzing the filler in the polymer. In order to observe the structure of a particle by a transmission electron microscope, it is generally necessary to prepare a very thin sample slice (thin slice) to such a degree that the electron beam can penetrate. The thickness of the slice is usually about 100 nm to 300 nm though it depends on the performance of the transmission electron microscope , The filler distributed in the polymer can be confirmed only in the local region.

In this regard, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-326211, a thin piece placed on a support is heated under a reduced pressure or under an atmosphere of nitrogen gas or inert gas to volatilize the polymer material portion in the thin section. Although a method for preparing a sample for an electron microscope has been disclosed, there is still a drawback in that the distribution of the filler distributed in the polymer can be confirmed over a wider area and the quantitative analysis can not be performed.

And a method for producing a polymer sample for X-ray 3D image analysis.

The present invention also provides a method for analyzing the distribution of a filler in a polymer, which comprises a method of producing a polymer sample for X-ray 3D image analysis.

To a method for producing a polymer sample for X-ray 3D image analysis.

The polymer is not limited as long as it contains a filler.

The X-ray 3D image analysis polymer sample is for monitoring the distribution state of the filler in the polymer, preferably the distribution of the filler aggregate in the polymer, but is not limited thereto.

In the present invention, in order to obtain good resolution using an X-ray 3D imaging apparatus, it is preferable that the size of the sample is not less than 20 탆 3 , preferably not less than 30 탆 3 .

However, the method using a conventional focused ion beam devices (FIB) is a long time to produce a sample of the polymer material too long, 10 ㎛ 3 There was a disadvantage that only the following samples could be produced.

Therefore, in the present invention, a sample of a polymer material is made hard at a low temperature by using a freezing section, and then a desired size of 30 탆 3 The sample slice could be prepared. However, if a frozen section is used to produce a sample slice of a size, the slice of the sample is thin and it is difficult to control the thickness.

Therefore, in the present invention, a sample having a large size of about 100 탆 x 100 탆 x 60 탆 was first prepared, and a piece having a size of about 30 탆 30 탆 30 탆 was formed thereon.

That is, the size of the polymer scaffold should be large enough to support the polymer scaffold, and the size of the polymer scaffold is preferably larger than that of the polymer scaffold.

The distribution of the filler in the polymer can be clearly observed with the X-ray 3D image device in a stable state by using the polymer sample manufactured by the polymer sample preparation method as described above.

The following advantages are obtained by preparing a sample according to the polymer sample preparation method provided by the present invention.

Conventional focused ion beam devices (FIB) roneun and possible pieces produced in less than 10 ㎛ 1 primary particle (primary particle) to be observed, but the required production time is 24 hours or more inconvenience, pieces of more than 20 ㎛ 3 Size There is a disadvantage in that accuracy can not be made.

However, when a polymer sample is prepared according to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a sample size from 30 μm 3 or more to one hour or less, so that the filler aggregate distribution state of several hundreds of nano size can be easily .

In addition, it is possible to control the glass transition temperature (Tg) suitable for the polymer sample, and thus it is possible to produce various kinds of polymer samples having different glass transition temperatures.

The present invention relates to a method for analyzing the distribution of a filler in a polymer, which comprises a method for producing a polymer sample for X-ray 3D image analysis.

The present invention also relates to a method for analyzing the distribution of a filler in a polymer, which comprises observing the polymer sample for X-ray 3D image analysis with an X-ray 3D image apparatus.
