Abstract:
Gelatin particles include: gelatin that serves as a main component; and an auxiliary component carried on the gelatin, the gelatin particles being configured such that where the particle size of the gelatin particles is X, the ratio A/B of the average concentration A (mass %) of the auxiliary component contained in a surface part having a thickness of 0.01X from the surface of the gelatin particles based on the total mass of the gelatin particles to the average concentration B (mass %) of the auxiliary component contained in an inner part of the particles deeper than the surface part based on the total mass of the gelatin particles is less than 0.25.
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a hydrogel particle which can be taken into a cell by the action of the cell and can control the release of a magnetic particle enclosed therein into the cell so as to retain the magnetic particle in the cell for a long period; a method for producing the hydrogel particle; a cell or a cell structure each enclosing the hydrogel particle therein; and a method for evaluating the activity of a cell using the hydrogel particle. The present invention solves the problem by a hydrogel particle including: a domain which is composed of a first hydrogel; a matrix which encloses the domain and is composed of a second hydrogel having a different crosslinking degree or composition from that of the first hydrogel; and a magnetic particle which is supported by at least the first hydrogel.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an abrasive slurry regeneration method capable of efficiently regenerating an abrasive slurry having a high polishing rate. The abrasive slurry regeneration method is an abrasive slurry regeneration method for polishing a polishing target containing silicon oxide as a main component using an abrasive slurry containing abrasive particles and a plurality of kinds of additives and then regenerating a collected abrasive slurry, characterized by including a regeneration step of collecting an additive having a molecular weight of 500 or more and an additive adsorbed by the abrasive particles among additives contained in the collected abrasive slurry together with the abrasive particles while an abrasive concentration (% by mass) is maintained within a range of 0.2 to 3000% with respect to an abrasive concentration (% by mass) of an unused abrasive slurry when being used for polishing a polishing target.
Abstract:
Disclosed are polishing material particles which have polishing performance suitable for precision polishing and also have a high polishing speed and high monodispersibility; a polishing material containing the polishing material particles; and a polishing processing method using the polishing material. The polishing material particles are spherical particles having an average aspect ratio of 1.00 to 1.15, wherein the particle diameter (D50 (nm)) of the polishing material particles as determined from a particle diameter cumulative distribution curve falls within the range from 50 to 1500 nm. The average content of cerium or the total content of cerium and at least one element selected from lanthanum (La), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm) and europium (Eu) in the polishing material particles is 81 mol % or more relative to the total content of all of rare earth elements that constitute the polishing material particles.
