 This paper is a review of the technical approaches taken at Toyota Central R&D Labs. (TCRDL) toward the surface and micro-analysis of organic materials. For organic microanalysis techniques, which are suitable for analysis of the degradation of organic materials, a depth analysis technique using micro-IR and a distribution analysis technique using derivatization-XMA have been developed. The former technique provides a great deal of information about organic chemical structure and the latter has higher sensitivity and higher lateral resolution than micro-IR. For organic surface analysis techniques, which are suitable for the analysis of adhesion and lubrication, a new method for time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) and a new type of surface analysis using a combination of SEIRA and ATR have been developed. Looking ahead to future trends, it is anticipated that "organic surface and micro-analysis" will evolve into "organic nanoanalysis", which will permit nanometer-order lateral and depth resolution, via the application of two approaches for extending the applicability of conventional organic analysis techniques to smaller scales, and for extending the applicability of nanometer scale analysis techniques to organic chemical analysis.

 有機材料のミクロ表面分析技術に関する当社での取り組み状況についての概況を述べる。特に有機材料の劣化解析に適した有機ミクロ分析技術として,有機化学構造情報が豊富な顕微IRを利用した深さ方向分析技術と,特定の官能基に対する感度と面分解能が顕微IRよりも優れた誘導体化−XMA法を開発した。接着や潤滑の解析に適した有機表面分析技術として,TOF-SIMSを利用した解析技術,銀蒸着TOF-SIMS法,SEIRAとATRとを組み合わせた新しい表面赤外分析技術の開発を行っている。将来は,2種類のアプローチ,すなわち有機分析技術のナノスケール化およびナノ観察技術で有機化学構造情報を得るための技術開発により,「有機ミクロ・表面分析技術」から面方向と深さ方向でnmレベルの分解能を持つ「有機ナノ分析技術」へと進化していくものと期待される。

  A new analytical method, referred to as "Derivatization-Electron Probe X-ray Micro-analysis (Derivatization-XMA)", has been developed to determine the distribution of 0.1 % order functional groups in polymers with μm level lateral resolution. Also, the optimal reaction conditions that make it possible to selectively derivatize the vinyl groups, carboxyl groups, carbonyl groups, hydroxyl groups and epoxy groups have been found. This method first derivatizes the functional groups in a polymer using a reagent with an indicator element highly sensitive to XMA, and moreover, with high selectivity to the functional group, and then measures the distribution of the indicator elemens by XMA, thus obtaining the distribution of the original functional groups. The fundamental performance of XMA in analyzing derivatized polymers has been investigated. The results showed that the detection limit was 0.05 % and the lateral resolution was 3 μm. In addition, the depth profile of the vinyl groups in an amine-degraded polyvinylchloride sheet was analyzed using this method. Since the depth profiles agreed well with those obtained by micro-IR spectroscopy, the reliability of measuring the distribution of functional groups by this method was confirmed. By this method, the sensitivity was 30 times higher, and the lateral resolution was 4 times higher than those obtained by micro-IR spectroscopy. Actual application to the depth analysis of degraded polymers has proved that this method is useful for the characterization of polymers and the study of polymer degradation.


 高分子材料中に存在する0.1%オーダーの官能基の分布をμmオーダーの位置分解能で測定できる新しい分析法として,"誘導体化−電子線プローブマイクロアナリシス ( 誘導体化−XMA ) "が有効であることを見出した。また,官能基であるビニル基,カルボキシル基,カルボニル基,水酸基およびエポキシ基について,本法のキーとなる誘導体化が選択的に行える最適反応条件を見出した。本法はXMAに高感度な標識元素を持つ反応試薬で官能基を誘導体化した後,この標識元素の分布をXMAで測定することにより,元の官能基の分布を得るものであり,検出感度0.05%,位置分解能3μmであった。本法をアミンで劣化させた塩化ビニル樹脂中のビニル基の分布測定に適用したところ,本法による分布は顕微IR法による分布と良く一致し,本法による官能基の分布測定の信頼性が確認された。また,本法は顕微IR法に比べて検出感度が30倍,位置分解能が4倍高いことも分かった。さらに,劣化させた高分子材料に適用し,高分子材料の劣化機構の解析や劣化状態の評価に有効であることを示した。

 The adsorption of model compounds of lubricant additives onto ferrous materials was investigated using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Nineteen types of model compounds, including phosphates, carboxylic acids, alcohols, amines, and esters, were subjected to lubrication tests. The TOF-SIMS spectra of the friction surfaces after hexane washing indicated that amines were physically adsorbed, carboxylic acids and esters were chemically adsorbed, and phosphates were tribochemically reacted onto friction surfaces. For alcohols, which showed no lubricity, no adsorbed component was detected on the friction surfaces by TOF-SIMS. From the results of investigation of correlation between the TOF-SIMS data and lubrication properties, it was possible to discuss the relationships between the results of TOF-SIMS analysis and lubrication properties such as friction coefficient and wear scar width when making comparisons among similar types of lubricant additives or investigating chemical changes of friction surfaces during lubrication tests.


 潤滑添加剤のモデル化合物の鉄表面への吸着について,飛行時間型二次イオン質量分析 (TOF-SIMS) によって研究した。リン酸エステル,カルボン酸,アルコール,アミン,エステルなど19種類のモデル化合物を潤滑試験に供した。潤滑面をヘキサンで洗浄した後,TOF-SIMS分析を行うことにより,鉄摩擦面に対してアミンは物理吸着,カルボン酸とエステルは化学吸着,リン酸エステルはトライボケミカルな反応を起こしていることが明らかになった。また,同タイプの潤滑剤同士での比較の場合,および潤滑試験における摩擦面の経時変化の追跡の場合には,TOF-SIMS分析結果と潤滑特性との関連を議論することが可能であることを示した。

 A method for the direct detection of the molecular ions of a very small amount of poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) on a solid surface was investigated. It was found that a TOF-SIMS analysis of silver-deposited surfaces (silver deposition/TOF-SIMS) is useful for this purpose. Molecular ions include information about structure (end groups, functional groups, etc.) and molecular weight, which are needed to evaluate organic substances. Using this method, silver-cationized quasi-molecular ions of PDMS were clearly detected on solid surfaces, and their structure and molecular weight were evaluated. In addition, their images obtained from the ions showed no interference from the deposited silver. Application of this method to the analysis of a paint defect allowed determination of the cause of the defect. Silver-cationized ions were detected on solid surfaces not only from PDMS, but also from other organic materials, including certain types of lubricant additives and fluorine oils. Therefore, it was confirmed that this method is useful for the analysis of ultrathin substances on actual industrial materials.


 固体表面に極微量付着したシリコーンオイル(PDMS)の分子量と分子構造を直接評価するため,分子構造や分子量分布の情報を含む分子イオンを検出する方法を検討し,試料表面に銀を蒸着してTOF-SIMSで分析する銀蒸着/TOF-SIMS法が有効であることを見出した。この方法により,固体表面に付着したPDMSから銀によってカチオン化された擬似分子イオンを検出することが可能となり,構造と分子量分布の評価および蒸着した銀に影響されない面分布の評価も可能となった。この方法を塗装のはじき解析に適用したところ,はじき原因となったPDMSが判別でき,原因が解明できた。この方法は,PDMSだけでなくオイル添加剤,フッ素オイルなど幅広く応用可能であることも確認し,固体表面上の極微量有機物の分析に有効であることを示した。
