In order to investigate the effect of bubble size distribution, the radii of bubbles are set with an initial value of 0. 1- 2.5 mm which follows the normal distribution. The presented results indicate that, in the submerged entry nozzle （SEN）, the distribution of void fraction is only near the wall. Due to the fact that the bubbles motion is only limited to the wall, the deoxidization products have no access to contacting the wall, which prevents clogging. In the mold, the bubbles with a radius of 0. 25--2.5 mm will move to the top surface. Larger bubbles issuing out of the ports will attack the menis- cus and induce the fluid flows upwards in the top surface near the nozzle. It may induce mold powder entrapment into the mold. The bubbles with a radius of 0.1--0.25 mm will move to the zone near the narrow surface and the wide surface. These small bubbles will probably be trapped by the solidification front. Most of the bubbles moving to the narrow surface will flow with the ascending flow, while others will flow with the descending flow.展开更多

However, the influence of TiO_2 nanotubes with coexisting multi-size diameters on cell behaviors is seldom reported. In this work, coexisting four-diameter TiO_2 nanotube samples, namely,one single substrate with the integration of four different nanotube diameters(60, 150, 250, and 350 nm), were prepared by repeated anodization. The boundaries between two different diameter regions show well-organized structure without obvious difference in height. The adhesion behaviors of MC3T3-E1 cells on the coexisting fourdiameter TiO_2 nanotube arrays were investigated. The results exhibit a significant difference of cell density between smaller diameters(60 and 150 nm) and larger diameters(250 and 350 nm) within 24 h incubation with the coexistence of different diameters, which is totally different from that on the single-diameter TiO_2 nanotube arrays. The coexistence of four different diameters does not change greatly the cell morphologies compared with the singlediameter nanotubes. The findings in this work are expected to offer further understanding of the interaction between cells and materials.展开更多

文摘Reaction kinetics of nanoparticles can be controlled by tuning the Peclet number(Pe)as it is an essential parameter in synthesis of multi-sized nanoparticles.Herein,we propose to implement a self-driven multi-dimension microchannels reactor(MMR)for the one droplet synthesis of multi-sized nanoparticles.By carefully controlling the Pe at the gas-liquid interface,the newly formed seed crystals selectively accumulate and grow to a specific size.By the combination of microchannels of different widths and lengths,one droplet reaction in the same apparatus achieves the synchronous synthesis of diverse nanoparticles.MMR enables precise control of nanoparticle diameter at 5 nm precision in the range of 10-110 nm.The use of MMR can be extended to the synthesis of uniform Ag,Au,Pt,and Pd nanoparticles,opening towards the production and engineering of nanostructured materials.This approach gives the chance to regulate the accumulation probability for precise synthesis of nanoparticles with different diameters.
