Sumitomo Rubber Industries’ new synchrotron radiation technique is capable of measuring 0.1- to 100-nanosecond motion. Combining the innovative technique with conventional processes has made it possible to measure atomic or molecular motion in a wide time domain. It has been developed using SPring-81, a large synchrotron radiation facility, for the first time. Furthermore, the use of CITIUS2, the latest two-dimensional x-ray camera, has enabled them to measure not only the timescale of a moving object but its spatial scale at the same time. They succeeded in measuring molecular chain motion in rubber in a wide time domain of 0.1 to 100 nanoseconds by applying the developed technique to rubber material
