Example 1

As an abrasive grain, cation-modified colloidal silica in which an amino group is immobilized on the surface (average primary particle size of 35 nm, average secondary particle size of 70 nm, average association degree of 2.0) was added to water so as to have a concentration of 0.5% by mass with respect to 100% by mass of the total mass of the polishing composition. In addition, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid was added to the mixture of the abrasive grain and water in such an amount that a pH of the polishing composition was 4.5. Thereafter, the mixture was stirred and mixed at room temperature (25° C.) for 30 minutes to prepare a polishing composition.

The average primary particle size of the abrasive grains was calculated from the specific surface area of the abrasive grains measured by a BET method using “Flow Sorb II 2300” manufactured by Micromeritics and the density of the abrasive grains. Further, the average secondary particle size of the abrasive grains was measured by a dynamic light scattering particle diameter and particle size distribution device UPA-UTI 151 manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd. Furthermore, the pH of the polishing composition (liquid temperature: 25° C.) was confirmed with a pH meter (model: LAQUA manufactured by Horiba, Ltd.).

UV and Gamma-ray SPSC Experiments

Two types of the SPSC experiments were conducted: UV irradiation and gamma-ray irradiation.
During the UV-irradiation SPSC experiment, a plasma-treated Zn plate was placed into a 4-mL cuvette with ultrapure water (Wako Pure Chemical, Japan), which was deaerated by boiling, and then irradiated by a UV lamp (UVP, B-100AP, USA, λ = 365 nm, 3.4 eV) for 0–144 h in a lightproof chamber (shown in Figure S7b, Supplementary information). The intensity of the UV irradiation was 10−53 mW·cm−2. During the SPSC experiment, the pH and temperature of the water were measured using a pH/ORP meter (Horiba, LAQUA, D-72) containing a micro ToupH electrode (Horiba, LAQUA, 9618 S) and a long ToupH electrode (Horiba, LAQUA, 9680S-10D).
In the gamma-ray irradiation SPSC experiment, the plasma-treated Zn plate was placed into a test tube with 3 mL ultrapure water and then irradiated with gamma-rays, which was performed at the 60Co irradiation facility of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (ISIR) at Osaka University. The gamma-ray dose rate was determined by the distance from the sample to the ray source. The absorbed dose was calculated by Fricke dosimetry.

The pH measurement was performed immediately after stomach dissection. The forestomach region was removed to allow the electrode of pH meter to enter the interior regions of stomach and closely touch the inner wall of either corpus or antrum subregion. The pH value was determined using pre-calibrated portable pH meter LAQUA with a 9618S-10D Micro ToupH electrode (3 mm diameter) (HORIBA, Ltd, Kyoto, Japan).

Example 1

As the abrasive grains, abrasive grains A were prepared. The abrasive grains A are unmodified colloidal silica having an average primary particle diameter of 32 nm and an average secondary particle diameter of 63 nm.

The above abrasive grains A were stirred and dispersed in a dispersing medium (pure water) so that the concentration in a composition would be 1.5% by mass, and Compound a, as a polyvalent hydroxy compound, was added so that the concentration in the composition would be 3 mM, and moreover acetic acid was added as a pH adjusting agent so that the pH of the polishing composition would be 2.0 to prepare the polishing composition (mixing temperature: about 25° C., mixing time: about 10 minutes). The pH of the polishing composition (solution temperature: 25° C.) was measured by a pH meter (model number: LAQUA manufactured by HORIBA, Ltd.).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
