We look forward to your participation.

Microtrac Bell will hold an on-site seminar for beginners/intermediates featuring the Microtrac MRB static image analysis CAMSIZER measurement experience. The dynamic image analysis CAMSIZER allows for high-resolution "particle size distribution" measurements in a simple and short time, as well as simultaneous evaluation of "particle shape" such as circularity and aspect ratio in a single measurement. In this seminar, participants will have the opportunity to experience "particle size distribution" and "particle shape" measurements using the dynamic image analysis CAMSIZER. We sincerely look forward to your attendance.

Microtrack Bell will hold a webinar titled "A New Dispersion Evaluation Method for Nanoparticles Using Particle Size Distribution and Zeta Potential" (Target Audience: Beginners/Intermediate). Precision components utilized in various industries such as IoT, energy, and the environment are required to be both high-performance and compact. Additionally, there is a demand for the micronization of various functional materials across a wide range of fields in the chemical industry. To meet these high demands, particle measurement (particle size distribution) considering the dispersibility of nanoparticles has become one of the important key technologies. In this seminar, we will propose a new method for evaluating dispersibility, which includes not only the general particle size distribution analysis but also a new technique called zeta potential evaluation. We look forward to the participation of many attendees.

Microtrack Bell will hold a webinar titled "Fundamentals of Pore Structure Evaluation Using Mercury Porosimetry and True Density Evaluation Using Gas Pycnometry." This seminar is aimed at beginners to intermediate participants and will carefully explain the necessity of mercury porosimetry and gas pycnometry, an overview of the measurements, analytical methods based on the measurements, terminology explanations, case studies of actual data analysis, and an overview of the measuring instruments. By responding to a survey after attending the seminar, you will be able to download the presentation materials. We look forward to the participation of many attendees.

In this seminar, we will provide a thorough explanation aimed at beginners to intermediate participants regarding the necessity of catalyst evaluation, an overview of measurements, terminology related to analytical methods based on measurements, and examples of actual data analysis. On the first day, we will have an invited lecture by a professor from the Graduate School of Engineering at Hokkaido University, who is widely active in the field of supported metal catalysts both domestically and internationally. The lecture will cover characterization examples of metal catalysts and the low-temperature synthesis of hydrogen and NH3, which are gaining attention as new energy sources in the 21st century. On the second day, we will have another invited lecture by the director of the GSC Research Center at Tottori University, who is also widely active in the field of zeolites both domestically and internationally. The lecture will focus on the acidic properties of functional materials such as zeolites and their analytical methods. We look forward to the participation of many attendees.

Among the characteristics of powder particles, "particle size distribution" is a very important evaluation item. While measurements using "sieving" and "laser diffraction/scattering" are mainstream, there are challenges such as the time and effort required for measurements, dissatisfaction with measurement accuracy represented by resolution, and the desire to evaluate particle shape. The dynamic image analysis CAMSIZER allows for high-resolution "particle size distribution" measurements to be conducted easily and quickly, and it can simultaneously evaluate "particle shape" parameters such as circularity and aspect ratio in a single measurement. In this seminar, you will have the opportunity to experience the measurement of "particle size distribution" and "particle shape" using the dynamic image analysis CAMSIZER. We encourage you to participate in this opportunity.

This document proposes a suitable particle size evaluation method for micronized materials based on the results of particle size distribution measurements of micronized barium titanate using laser diffraction and scattering methods. With the miniaturization and high performance of information and communication devices, the miniaturization of electronic materials is actively being pursued. Barium titanate, a representative electronic powder material used in multilayer ceramic capacitors, is one of them. Therefore, managing particle size in the fine particle region is a challenge in the research and development and quality control of powder materials, and selecting appropriate measurement methods is particularly important.
