UrushiNote

Introduction

In recent years, polymer materials have become more complex due to increased composition and diversification so that a one-sided analysis is insufficient and multifaceted observations and analyses are required.
In response to this need, JEOL has engaged in applied research under the keyword of "YOKOGUSHI" (multifaceted or cross-instrumental) using various instruments organically. In this Urushi Note, multifaceted analysis methods for polymer materials are illustrated using the examples of natural lacquer (urushi) analysis.
