Abstract

A resin composition quality controlling method includes a step of measuring a Raman spectrum of a resin composition composed of first TiO 2 particles of anatase type TiO 2 and second TiO 2 particles of rutile type TiO 2 by irradiation with laser, and determining a concentration ratio of the first TiO 2 particles to the second TiO 2 particles in the resin composition based on an intensity of a first peak assigned to lattice vibration in the anatase type TiO 2 and an intensity of a second peak assigned to lattice vibration in the rutile type TiO 2 in the Raman spectrum.

Claims (8)

1. A resin composition quality controlling method for determining a concentration ratio of anatase type TiO 2 particles and rutile type TiO 2 particles in a resin composition by using a Raman measurement device that includes a probe portion that emits laser light and a computer for measuring, storing, and comparing Raman spectrum peaks, comprising:

measuring a Raman spectrum of the resin composition comprising first TiO 2 particles comprising anatase type TiO 2 and second TiO 2 particles comprising rutile type TiO 2 by irradiation of the resin composition with laser light from the probe portion; and

determining a concentration ratio of the first TiO 2 particles to the second TiO 2 particles in the resin composition by means of the computer of the Raman measurement device based on a comparison of an intensity of a first peak assigned to lattice vibration in the anatase type TiO 2 and an intensity of a second peak assigned to lattice vibration in the rutile type TiO 2 in the Raman spectrum.

2. The resin composition quality controlling method according to claim 1 , wherein the first peak comprises a peak exhibiting a highest intensity in a range of not less than 365 cm −1 and not more than 425 cm −1 or a peak exhibiting a highest intensity in a range of not less than 485 cm −1 and not more than 545 cm −1 in the Raman spectrum, and wherein the second peak comprises a peak exhibiting a highest intensity in a range of not less than 205 cm −1 and not more than 265 cm −1 or a peak exhibiting a highest intensity in a range of not less than 415 cm −1 and not more than 475 cm −1 in the Raman spectrum.

3. The resin composition quality controlling method according to claim 1 , wherein in the determining, a peak height ratio of the first peak to the second peak is obtained from the Raman spectrum, and a concentration ratio of the first TiO 2 particles to the second TiO 2 particles in the resin composition is determined by referring to a relationship obtained in advance between the peak height ratio and the concentration ratio.

4. The resin composition quality controlling method according to claim 1 , wherein in the determining, an integral intensity ratio of the first peak to the second peak is obtained from the Raman spectrum, and a concentration ratio of the first TiO 2 particles to the second TiO 2 particles in the resin composition is determined by referring to a relationship obtained in advance between the integral intensity ratio and the concentration ratio.

5. A cable and tube quality controlling method, comprising:

determining a concentration ratio in an insulator being provided on a cable or a tube and comprising the resin composition by the resin composition quality controlling method according to claim 1 .
