透明防雾材料

透明材料在日常生活和工业生产中占据重要的地位,但是在使用过程中经常由于结雾问题会带来诸多不便甚至造成经济损失,因此,透明防雾材料的研究具有重要的意义。本文首先介绍了防雾的基本原理和实现防雾的两种主要途径,即亲水和疏水防雾,再详细介绍了通过不同途径以实现防雾功能的具体防雾材料体系及制备方法,最后对透明防雾材料的应用及发展趋势进行了总结与展望。     

Origin of strain-induced resonances in flexible terahertz metamaterials

Two types of flexible terahertz metamaterials were fabricated on polyethylene naphthalate(PEN) substrates. The unit cell of one type consists of two identical split-ring resonators(SRRs) that are arranged face-to-face(i.e., Flex Meta F); the unit cell of the other type has nothing different but is arranged back-to-back(i.e., Flex Meta B). Flex Meta F and Flex Meta B illustrate the similar transmission dips under zero strain because the excitation of fundamental inductive–capacitive(LC)resonance is mainly dependent on the geometric structure of individual SRR. However, if a gradually variant strain is applied to bend Flex Meta F and Flex Meta B, the new resonant peaks appear: in the case of Flex Meta F, the peaks are located at the lower frequencies; in the case of Flex Meta B, the peaks appear at the frequencies adjacent to the LC resonance. The origin and evolution of strain-induced resonances are studied. The origin is ascribed to the detuning effect and the different responses to strain from Flex Meta F and Flex Meta B are associated with the coupling effect. These findings may improve the understanding on flexible terahertz metamaterials and benefit their applications in flexible or curved devices.
