PQY-01 Photoreaction Evaluation System
*The photoreaction evaluation system PQY-01 is the successor to the photoreaction quantum yield evaluation system QYM-01.
This system can measure the number of photons absorbed, which is necessary for calculating the quantum yield of photoreactions.
Photoreaction Quantum Yield:
For a comparison to data obtained with the conventional method using a chemical actinometer, refer to LAAN-A-UV-E041 Application News bulletin No. A478.
This photoreaction evaluation system was developed by Shimadzu Corporation, under the supervision of Professor Osamu Ishitani and Associate Professor Yusuke Tamaki of the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Biodegradable Plastics
In order to reduce plastic waste, the development of eco-friendly alternative materials is being promoted. As an alternative, biomass plastics and biodegradable plastics are becoming more widely available. Biodegradable Plastics are plastics that are decomposed into low-molecular compounds by microorganisms in the environment. So they break down easily in nature, which is an opposite characteristic of petroleum-based plastics.
