Abstract BACKGROUND: Electrospinning is a powerful and effective method to produce nanofibers. Beads have been observed widely in electrospun products, but effects of solvents, weight concentrations salt additives on the number morphology beads electrospinning process not systematically studied. RESULTS: Both theoretical analysis experimental results show that strongly depend upon additives. Either suitable concentration or additive can completely prevent occurrence process; solvents affect...
Doping effect of diamond nanoparticles on the superconducting properties MgB 2 bulk material has been studied.It is found that transition temperature T c suppressed by diamond-doping, however, irreversibility field H irr and critical current density J are systematically enhanced.Microstructural analysis shows diamond-doped superconductor consists tightly-packed nano-grains (~50-100 nm) with highly-dispersed uniformly-distributed (~10-20 inside grains.High dislocations may take responsibility...
MgB2-diamond nanocomposite superconductors have been synthesized by addition of nano-diamond powder. Microstructural analysis shows that the superconductor consists tightly-packed MgB2 nano-grains (~50-100 nm) with highly-dispersed and uniformly-distributed diamond nanoparticles (~10-20 inside grains. The Jc-H Hiir-T characteristics significantly improved in this nanocomposite, compared to bulk materials prepared other techniques. Also, Jc value 1x104 A/cm2 at 20 K 4 T Hirr 6.4 achieved
This paper reports dynamic behavior of a liquid-state accelerometer prototype, which uses liquid marble as the inertial proof mass. The governing equation is developed in comparison with solid-state mass conventional accelerometer. Numerical analysis and experimental validation show that appropriate parameters, resonance frequency sensor can be designed below 10 Hz, falls into range low body motion. work provides basis for development new paradigm motion sensing reduced fabrication assembly...
Blood viscosity is an important hematological parameter which widely used for the diagnosis of atherosclerosis, thrombosis and stroke. Currently Couette rheometer drives blood flow at a certain shear rate measures from resistance toque towards rotational shaft. Although effective, conventional limited due to complex configuration relatively large sample volume. More important, rotating components hinder miniaturization point-of-care unattended diagnosis. To address this, microchip reported...
Hydrodynamic flow through an array of channels has been utilized to assemble microspheres on a flat surface. The channels, about 6 µm in lateral size, were etched 60 thick silicon wafer using deep reactive ion etching (DRIE). Droplets containing 6–8 fluorescent polystyrene placed the top side horizontally-oriented wafer, while bottom was connected syringe that draws fluid channels. In this way are guided and secured at inlets remain place when suction ceases. This technique, which combines...
