COVER STORY Latest Analysis and Evaluation Techniques for Structures and Functions Using Synchrotron Radiation |
| In order to design the physical properties and functions of polymeric materials, it is important to accurately analyze and evaluate various structures. With recent advances in analysis and evaluation techniques using synchrotron radiation, it has become possible to understand the hierarchical structure of polymeric materials from the nano to the macro range. Furthermore, the next generation synchrotron radiation, NanoTerasu, will operate in 2023. NanoTerasu uses high-brilliance soft X-rays as a light source, which will make it possible to identify elements and evaluate chemical bonding states. It is expected to be a powerful analytical tool that can visualize the inside of materials and living organisms and evaluate their functions. This issue focuses on analysis and evaluation techniques using synchrotron radiation and introduces the latest research trends. Editors: OKAMOTO, ASADA, NISHINA, and MIYAMOTO |
