In this experiment, the properties of deinked pulp from three different additives--chemicals, black mold enzyme, and chemicals together with black mold enzyme, are studied. The first part of the experiment was to find the optimal amount of chemicals and the optimal pH through the use of sodium hydroxide and surfactant. As a result, 0.2% of sodium hydroxide and 0.4% of surfactant on oven dried weight at pH 9 was found to be the optimal condition for the deinked pulp to yield the lowest ERIC （effective residual concentration） and the highest brightness. The second part of the experiment was to find the optimal amount of black mold enzyme used in the deinking process. As a result, the optimal condition for deinked pulp to retain the lowest ERIC and the highest brightness was 100 ppm of black mold enzyme and 10 minutes of enzyme reaction time. The third part of experiment was to study the de-inking ability of black mold enzyme and chemicals. Consequently, with 30 min of chemicals reaction time and 60 min of black mold reaction time, the deinked pulp retained low ERIC but higher brightness.展开更多

Ansys CFX is used here to build a model of ink fluid adhering to lower vibrator roller,form inking roller,and printing plate for analyzing ink transferring in inking process. Ink layer thickness on each position of the model is acquired to analyze the forming mechanism of ink layer on printing plate,as well as the influence of oscillation speed of lower vibrator roller and dot area percentage of plate on ink layer thickness of printing plate. It can be concluded that,in the case of fixed ink supplying amount,ink layer thickness increases along with the increasing of oscillation speed,and decreases when the dot area percentage is getting larger and the minimum is got when the dot area percentage is 100%. At last,experiment of plate inking on print ability tester verifies the correctness of the simulation analysis.展开更多

文摘This study systemmatically investigated the effects of solid content and dispersant content on the physicochemical properties of ZnO-SnO_(2) composite ink.The experimental results show that even with the use of low-molecular-weight PEG400 dispersant,gas-sensitive ink with high solid content and good suspension stability can be obtained,which is advantageous for low-temperature film formation and can effectively prevent property changes and film crack of high-temperature-sintering-induced material.Under this condition,the ink at a 15wt%solid content and 2wt%-10wt%PEG400 has good film-forming ability and high adhesion strength on the micro-electromechanical system(MEMS)micro-hotplates.Especially,the MEMS sensor printed using the ink of 6wt%PEG400 shows highest sensitivity,favorable impact resistance,thermal shock resistance,and up to 8 years of service life.

文摘The polysaccharides from Sepia esculenta ink are potential candidates for biomedical applications due to their functional properties.In our study,a heteropolysaccharide,SE-1,isolated from Sepia esculenta ink,had a molecular weight of 13.1 kDa and a monosaccharide composition of Man:GlcN:GlcUA:GalN:Xyl:Fuc=1.00:1.38:0.65:2.89:0.76:1.99.Through partial acid hydrolysis,me-thylation and one-and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance(1D and 2D NMR)spectroscopic analyses,it is indicated that the structure of SE-1 consists of→4)-α-D-GlcpNAc-(1→,→4)-α-L-Fucp-(1→,→3)-α-D-GalpNAc-(1→,→2,6)-α-D-Manp-(1→and→3)-β-D-GlcpUA-(1→as the main chain and single terminalβ-D-Xylp-(1→,which links to O-2 of(1→2,6)-α-Manp,as the side chain.A new aminosugar-abundant heteropolysaccharide was isolated from S.esculenta ink for the first time.

文摘Quantumdot inks(QDIs)represent an emerging functionalmaterial that integrates nanotechnology and fluid engineering,demonstrating significant application potential in flexible optoelectronics and high-color gamut displays.Their wide applicability is due to a unique quantum confinement effect that enables precise spectral tunability and solution-processable properties.However,the complex fluid dynamics associated with QDIs at micro-/nano-scales severely limit the accuracy of inkjet printing and pattern deposition.This review systematically addresses recent advances in the hydrodynamics of QDIs,establishing scientific mechanisms and key technical breakthroughs from an interdisciplinary perspective.Current research has focused on three optimization directions:(1)regulating ligand structures to enhance colloidal stability,flow consistency,and anti-shear performance while mitigating nanoparticle aggregation;(2)incorporating low-viscosity or high-volatility solvents and surface tension modifiers to modify droplet dynamic characteristics and suppress the“coffee-ring”effect;(3)integrating advanced technologies such as electrohydrodynamic jetting and microfluidic targeted deposition to achieve submicron pattern resolution and high film uniformity,expanding adaptability in flexible electronics,biosensing,and anti-counterfeiting printing.A comparison of current technical routes and critical performance indicators has identified the dominant variables that influence QDI macroscopic/microscopic properties.A comprehensive analytical framework is presented which spans material structure,rheological behavior,manufacturing processes,and functional characteristics.Moreover,a proposed engineering‘structure–parameter–behavior–performance’serves to link core–shell structure,formulation parameters(e.g.,viscosity and surface tension),fluidic behavior(e.g.,shear thinning and Marangoni flow),and device performance(e.g.,resolution and photoluminescence efficiency).The findings provide theoretical support and decision-making guidance for the large-scale application and interdisciplinary expansion of QDIs.

文摘Wireless millirobots engineered to infiltrate intricate vascular networks within living organisms,particularly within constricted and confined spaces,hold immense promise for the future of medical treatments.However,with their multifaceted and intricate designs,some robots often grapple with motion and functionality issues when confronted with tight spaces characterized by small cross-sectional dimensions.In this study,drawing inspiration from the high aspect ratio and undulating swimming patterns of snakes,a millimeter-scale,snake-like robot was designed and fabricated via a combination of extrusion-based four-dimensional(4D)printing and magnetic-responsive intelligent functional inks.A sophisticated motion control strategy was also developed,which enables the robots to perform various dynamic movements,such as undulating swimming,precise turns,graceful circular motions,and coordinated cluster movements,under diverse magnetic field variations.As a potential application,the snake robot can navigate and release drugs in a model coronary intervention vessel with tortuous channels and fluid filling.The novel design and promising applications of this snake robot are invaluable tools in future medical surgeries and interventions.

文摘To overcome reliance on molds and the difficulty of fabricating complex geometries with traditional C/C composites,direct ink writing(DIW)with UV/heat dual curing was employed to produce high-performance C/C composites.The rheological properties of the composite inks were systematically analyzed to assess the effects of phenolic resin(PR)and carbon fiber(CF)content.Results show pronounced shear-thinning behavior and strong thixotropy-both essential for stable DIW.Additionally,UV/heat curing behavior was characterized to provide theoretical insights for optimizing curing parameters.Notably,CF addition is found to significantly attenuate UV light penetration compared to pure PR.As CF content increases,the critical UV irradiation energy rises sharply from 68.47 to 911.19 mJ/cm^(2),necessitating precise adjustments to curing parameters.Preforms were pyrolyzed in a carbon tube furnace to examine pore-formation characteristics,and chemical vapor infiltration(CVI)was applied to filling the resulting pores,yielding C/C composites with a flexural strength of 115.19 MPa.
