被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：44.82(Polymer Science)Marine ecosystem degradation due to micro plastics is a significant environmental problem, as acknowledged by Sustainable Development Goal 14. Decomposition of plastics using near critical or supercritical water is one of the promising methods to reduce micro plastics. To attain the optimization of the method for improving environmental friendliness, it is necessary to clarify the structural change of materials during the process. We, thus, investigated the decomposition processes of polystyrene particles dispersed in deuterated water (D
O) during heating under near critical or supercritical conditions by using in situ small-angle neutron scattering. Under subcritical conditions, the PS particles were swollen by DO due to increased compatibility with temperature. Near the critical point in subcritical conditions, the cleavage of PS chains in the particles occurred, so that the swollen ratio was much enhanced though the PS particles kept their shapes. In a supercritical condition, the PS particles were degraded into oil including oligomers or monomers and the phase-separated structures with styrene-rich and DO-rich regions.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0(Chemistry, Physical)In the case of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin films on a Si substrate, thermal annealing induces the formation of a layer of PMMA chains tightly adsorbed near the substrate interface, and the strongly adsorbed PMMA remains on the substrate, even after washing with toluene (hereinafter called adsorbed sample). Neutron reflectometry revealed that the concerned structure consists of three layers: an inner layer (tightly bound on the substrate), a middle layer (bulk-like), and an outer layer (surface) in the adsorbed sample. When an adsorbed sample was exposed to toluene vapor, it became clear that, between the solid adsorption layer (which does not swell) and bulk-like swollen layer, there was a "buffer layer" that could sorb more toluene molecules than the bulk-like layer. This buffer layer was found not only in the adsorbed sample but also in the standard spin-cast PMMA thin films on the substrate. When the polymer chains were firmly adsorbed and immobilized on the Si substrate, the freedom of the possible structure right next to the tightly bound layer was reduced, which restricted the relaxation of the conformation of the polymer chain strongly. The "buffer layer" was manifested by the sorption of toluene with different scattering length density contrasts.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)We measured the neutron reflectivity (NR) of isotactic polypropylene (PP) thin films deposited on Si substrates modified by hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) at the saturated vapor pressure of deuterated water at 25
C and 60C/85% RH to investigate the effect of HMDS on the interfacial water accumulation in PP-based polymer/inorganic filler nanocomposites and metal/resin bonding materials. We found that the amount of water accumulated at the PP/Si interface decreased with increasing immersion time of the Si substrate in a solution of HMDS in hexane prior to PP film deposition. During the immersion of the Si substrate, the HMDS molecules were deposited on the Si substrate as a monolayer without aggregation. Furthermore, the coverage of the HMDS monolayer on the Si substrate increased with increasing immersion time. At 60C and 85% RH, only a slight amount of interfacial water was detected after HMDS treatment for 1200 min. As a result, the maximum concentration of interfacial water was reduced to 0.1 from 0.3, where the latter corresponds to the PP film deposited on the untreated substrate.

J-PARC大強度陽子加速器では設計出力値である1MWビームパワーのビーム調整を行っている。線形加速器におけるMEBT(Medium Energy Beam Transport)1は低エネルギーでの大強度ビーム輸送系であり空間電荷力が支配的な状況でビームを輸送、及び、下流加速器であるDTLに整合したビームに成型する機能を持つため、J-PARC加速器の出力を安定化する上で最も重要な機器である。そこで、ビーム供給安定化向上のため、MEBT1より上流のイオン源やRFQ等の機器パラメータとMEBT1でのビームパラメータとの関連性を調査した。その結果、MEBT1に入射するビームの挙動は上流機器の設定パラメータと関連があり、その関係はイオン源の数値シミュレーション結果をもとにしたビーム力学理論から解釈できることが今回初めて判明した。さらに、本結果をもとにシミュレーションによる解析を行い、現状のMEBT1では下流側DTLとのビーム整合を行う上でビームモニターの数が不足しており、それらの設置個所を含めて再検討が必要なこと、バンチャー空洞の数を増やしてチョッパーシステム及びDTLとのビーム整合を両立可能な状態にすることによりさらなるビーム供給の安定化が見込めること、などの課題がはっきりと分かった。本発表にてそれらビーム実験結果を報告する。

The high-spin states in S were investigated at Tandem-ALTO facility in Institut de Physique Nucl
aire d'Orsay The Mg(O, 21n)S fusion evaporation reaction was used to populate high-spin states in S. The germanium -ray detector array ORGAM was employed to measure rays from high-spin states and charged particles evaporated from the compound nuclei were detected by a segmented silicon detector, Si-Ball. A level scheme for S was deduced based on the gamma-gamma-coincidence analysis and -ray angular correlation analysis. The half-life of the transition in the superdeformed band was estimated by measuring the residual Doppler shift. The deduced half-life shows the large collectivity of the band.
