We present EQCM study for the electrochemical behavior of various 1-methyl-1'-alkylvilogen (C1CnV:n=1, 7-10, 12, 14,16, 18). In some viologens, we discussed the mechanism of CD-induced comproportionation reaction as well as electrodeposition pathway based on the EQCM and the spectroelectrochemical experimental results. 相似文献
The surface of the taro plant leaf was replicated using a nanoimprinting technique (NIT) supplemented with an electric field. This field‐aided nanoimprinting method (FA‐NIT) consists of two steps: applying an electric field to a liquid polymer under the plant leaves and the curing process of the polymer with the applied electric field. An appropriate electric field was needed to induce the electrokinetic phenomena of a liquid polymer to obtain a good replicated surface. The roughness fabricated by the FA‐NIT was about 45% higher than the one prepared by NIT. The FA‐NIT method is a good supplementary technique to improve the quality of NIT.
Interaction chromatography has been employed to validate that adsorption of poly[styrene‐co‐(4‐bromostyrene)] (PBrxS) random copolymers, where x denotes the mole fraction of 4‐bromostyrene (4–BrS) in PBrxS in solution depends on the average number of adsorptive segments, the type of adsorbing substrate, and on the co‐monomer sequence distribution in PBrxS.
The article summarizes research activities of the Laser Thermal Laboratory on pulsed nanosecond and femtosecond laser-based
processing of materials and diagnostics at the nanoscale using optical-near-field processing. Both apertureless and apertured
near-field probes can deliver highly confined irradiation at sufficiently high intensities to impart morphological and structural
changes in materials at the nanometric level. Processing examples include nanoscale selective subtractive (ablation), additive
(chemical vapor deposition), crystallization, and electric, magnetic activation. In the context of nanoscale diagnostics,
optical-near-field-ablation-induced plasma emission was utilized for chemical species analysis by laser-induced breakdown
spectroscopy. Furthermore, optical-near-field irradiation greatly improved sensitivity and reliability of electrical conductance
atomic force microscopy enabling characterization of electron tunneling through the oxide shell on silicon nanowires. Efficient
in-situ monitoring greatly benefits optical-near-field processing. Due to close proximity of the probe tip with respect to
the sample under processing, frequent degradation of the probe end occurs leading to unstable processing conditions. Optical-fiber-based
probes have been coupled to a dual-beam (scanning electron microscopy and focused ion beam) system in order to achieve in-situ
monitoring and probe repair. 相似文献
Three-dimensional flow-through microchannels were fabricated inside bulk fused silica glass via ultrashort pulsed laser direct
writing. The device fabrication sequence takes advantage of the nonlinear volumetric absorption in glass and the subsequent
preferential chemical etching process. Optical waveguides were also written into the glass specimen and integrated with the
fluidic conduits. Flow tests using both fluorescent particles and red blood cells (RBCs) were conducted on various three-dimensional
channel configurations. Experiments showed the possibility for laser-induced cell processing inside the microchannels. To
evaluate cytometer functionality, RBCs were detected inside the manufactured microchannel via both transmission and fluorescence
probing. 相似文献
The characteristics of boiling and critical heat flux (CHF) behavior of nano-fluids with alumina and silver nano-particles
suspended in de-ionized water (pure water) were studied with circular plate heaters in the present study. Enhancements of
CHF in nano-fluids in the wide range of particle sizes and concentrations were compared with those in pure water. Also, the
effects of the particle deposition on CHF enhancement were investigated. All experiments were performed at the atmospheric
pressure condition. The results show that the measured boiling curves in nano-fluids were shifted to the right and CHF were
significantly enhanced for different nano-particle sizes and concentrations. The CHF of nano-fluids was increased as the size
of the nano-particles decreased. On the other hand, nano-particle concentration value showing the maximum CHF had a critical
value. In each pool boiling experiment of nano-fluids, nano-particles were deposited on the heater surface. Assuming that
this phenomenon caused the CHF enhancement, pool boiling experiments of pure water were carried out with these nano-particle
deposited heaters. The results of these tests were similar to those of the test of the nano-fluids for the CHF enhancement.
The main cause of CHF enhancement was found to be the change of the heater surface structure. In order to analyze boiling
phenomena of pure water and Al2O3 nano-fluids, boiling process was visualized by using a high speed camera. 相似文献
