Polymer Materials Technology Development Process

We select the appropriate raw materials and determine usage amounts for devised target characteristics and advance compounding design while repeating “processing method ingenuity”.

We think about how to mix the raw materials determined by the compounding design. We optimize the control points for compounding including, mixing method, order, timing, time, and temperature, and aim to achieve the target characteristics while controlling the mixing method and allocation of all raw materials.

If a characteristic is discovered as shown in the design, we analyze the mechanism and confirm the configuration of the raw material in a micro state. We then specify whether the relationship with the cause of the characteristic is logically correct and devise a highly reliable material.

We evaluate whether a designed material has achieved the anticipated mechanical strength, electric characteristics, durability or reliability, etc.

If it is difficult to achieve the planned characteristic value of the market raw materials, we “synthesize” or “modify” the raw material and create an original high performance material.
Synthesis: Combining raw materials to generate a different raw material (E.g. A+B= new C)
Modification: Changing the nature of the raw material (E.g. A→A')
