  • Publication number: 20200216648
    Abstract: Disclosed is a thermoplastic resin composition designed to, even when containing a filler, reduce a trade-off between stiffness and impact resistance to achieve a balance between impact resistance and stiffness, a method for producing the same, and a molded body. The thermoplastic resin composition is obtained by blending a polyolefin resin, a polyamide resin containing an inorganic filler, and a modified elastomer having a reactive group that reacts with the polyamide resin, wherein the polyolefin resin has a number-average molecular weight of 350,000 or more, and the polyamide resin has a structure in which a hydrocarbon group interposed between adjacent amide bonds in a main chain has 5 or less straight chain carbon atoms. The molded body is composed of the thermoplastic resin composition. The method for producing the thermoplastic resin composition includes the step of melt-kneading a polyolefin resin and a melt-kneaded product of a polyamide resin and a modified elastomer.

  • Publication number: 20190376781
    Abstract: In an OCT imaging, a focus position in a tomographic image is determined by a first distance, a second adjustment amount, a third adjustment amount and a refractive index of a medium. The first distance is a distance between a first surface and a second surface of a wall part of a container. The second adjustment amount is a focus position adjustment amount of an objective optical system at which an intensity of reflected light from the second surface is maximized when a reference mirror is positioned at a position where an object optical path length to the first surface and a reference optical path length are equal in a condition that the objective optical system is focused on the first surface. The third adjustment amount is a focus position adjustment amount in the imaging.
