都市ガス雰囲気下におけるシール部材の劣化機構を明らかにするため,膜式ガスメーターの10年使用品,20年使用品および30年使用品を市場から回収し,それらの分解調査を行った。その結果,ガスメーター用途でのダイヤフラムの経年劣化の主要因は温度であり,ゴムの硬化・収縮により基布が引っ張られた結果,ダイヤフラムの周辺部に「しわ」が形成されることを見出した。この故障モードはダイヤフラムの破断や亀裂の発生よりもはるかに前段階であり,ダイヤフラムの物性や形状が一定量変化した時点であると考えられる。また,バルブシート用シール剤の経年劣化の主要因は,シール剤材料の組成変化(分解や酸化劣化など)でなく,その形状変化であることを見出した。実機を模擬した試…

Actually platinum is still the most common metal catalyst in both anode and cathode fuel cell reactions because of its excellent properties in the adsorption and dissociation of small organics molecules (SOMs). The use of other alcohols with larger molecular weights has been investigated during the years and the direc…

Transparent conductive oxides used in solar cells such as indium tin oxide are relatively expensive. Zinc oxide may be suitable alternative as it is inexpensive, nontoxic, and abundant with properties similar to indium tin oxide. High quality zinc oxide films are commonly prepared by high cost vacuum techniques. Solut…

粘着特性の現象把握や物理的・化学的・機械的特性を明らかにするために,計測・分析・試験方法の高分解能化と高精度化を図った。本研究では,剥離試験時の剥離現象の観察や球転法による粘着特性の考察を実施し,さらにせん断特性試験の高分解能化と静的粘弾性特性の評価技術の開発を行った。試作した剥離現象観察装置により,アクリル系の粘着剤では架橋剤の添加量によって剥離点での粘着剤の変形状態が異なることを観察することができた。タック試験として使用されている球転法では,試験条件によっては,試験中の球の鋤起こし効果によって球の自重より大きな押しつけ力が粘着面に働くことが分かった。粘着剤の微小せん断変形特性の評価を目的として,最高分解能0.08nmで測定可能…
