Large scale microtubes with high length/diameter ratio and controllable wall thickness and morphology have been successfully fabricated with this template. It is a wildly available, low-cost, environmental friendly and fine structured natural template for microtubes. Its thin wall thickness is only about 1-2 um that means the whole template material is tiny and easy for removing. Even there is any residue the amount can be ignored. When the template is covered with a shell component, hollow structured microtube could be obtained by removing the thin inner template, and its shape could be the same as that of the original template （positive copy of the template＇s shape）. The products have high length/diameter ratio and uniform tubular structure. By further modifying the fabricating methods, facile fabrication not only exists for polypyrrole （PPy） in electrochemical deposition, but also for many other organic and inorganic materials. The surface morphology and wall thickness of the resultant microtubes can be easily modulated by controlling the processing conditions. This natural fiber is predicted to be a fine template for fabricating large scale microtubes with large cavity and high length/diameter ratio.展开更多

The grey-white powder of reacting product was characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscope （HRTEM）, which shows that the powder is long straight-wire morphology with outer diameter from 40nm to 300 nm and length up to several micrometres. The results of both electron diffraction （ED） and x-ray diffraction （XRD） indicate that the AlN microtubes have a pure hexagonal monocrystal tubular structure with the combination of the curled AlN nanobelts. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectrum of the synthesized sample showed an emission peak, which is closely related to the small size of the microtubes.展开更多

The degree of this departure is dependent on the microtubes materials. A concept of equivalent thickness with which conventional theory can be used to predict the flow in microtubes without modifying the fluid viscosity was put forward. The values of equivalent thickness for fused silica and stainless steel materials were determined as 1.8 μm and 1.5 μm, respectively, by repeated numeri- cal simulation.展开更多

However, recent experiments indicated that the distribution of the pressure seemed no longer linear for liquid flows in microtubes driven by high pressure （1-30MPa）. Based on H-P equation with slip boundary condition and Bridgman＇s relation of viscosity vs. static pressure, the nonlinear distribution of pressure along the axial direction is analyzed in this paper. The revised standard Poiseuille number with the effect of pressure-dependent viscosity taken into account agrees well with the experimental results. Therefore, the dependence of the viscosity on the pressure is one of the dominating factors under high driven pressure, and is represented by an important property coefficient α of the liquid.展开更多

Experiments were car- ried out to investigate slip characteristics of water flowing in circular superhydrophobic microtubes within lam- inar flow region. The superhydrophobic microtubes of stainless steel were fabricated with chemical etching- fluorination treatment. An experimental setup was designed to measure the pressure drop as function of water flow rate. For comparison, superhydrophilic tubes were also tested. Poiseuille number Po was found to be smaller for the superhydrophobic microtubes than that for superhydrophilic ones. The pressure drop reduc- tion ranges from 8% to 31%. It decreases with increasing Reynolds number when Re 〈 900, owing to the transition from Cassie state to Wenze] state. However, it is almost unchanged with further increasing Re after Re 〉 900. The slip length in superhydrophobic microtubes also exhibits a Reynolds number dependence similarly to the pressure drop reduction. The relation between slip length and Darcy friction factor is theoretically analyzed with consideration of surface roughness effect, which was testified with the experimental results.展开更多

Herein, a simple chemical method is developed to synthesize a rhenium trioxide(ReO_(3)) microtubes assembled with highly crystalline nanoparticles. The ReO_(3) microtubes show a strong and well-defined surface plasmon resonance(SPR) behavior in visible region, which is rare for non-noble metals. As a low-cost SERS substrate, the plasmonic ReO_(3) microtubes exhibit a Raman enhancement factor of 8.9×10^(5) and a lowest detection limit of 1.0×10^(-9) mol/L for phenolic pollutants. Moreover, these ReO_(3) microtubule SERS substrates show excellent chemical stability and can resist the corrosion of strong acids and bases.展开更多
