  • Method of particle detection, apparatus therefor, method of forming particle concentration difference in dispersion liquid, and apparatus therefor
    Patent number: 8045166
    Abstract: A method of particle detection includes a shock wave generating step of irradiating a dispersion liquid having dispersed first particles having a first diameter and second particles having a second diameter larger than the first diameter, with a pulse laser, and generating a shock wave in the dispersion liquid, a migration speed difference imparting step of migrating and accelerating the first particles at a first acceleration speed, and the second particles at a second acceleration speed higher than the first acceleration speed, by the shock wave generated at the shock wave generating step, and a detecting step of detecting the first or second particles.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of imparting organic functional groups to the surface of fluoropolymers by irradiation of carboxylic acids with ultraviolet light
    Patent number: 5721293
    Abstract: A fluoropolymer film or powder is brought into contact with a carboxylic acid and their surface is irradiated with ultraviolet light so that alkyl and other organic radicals derived from the carboxylic acid are introduced into the irradiated part, thereby imparting chemical affinity such as oleophilicity to the film or powder surface.
