Large-Scale Rapid Liquid Printing

Liquid-liquid equilibrium data prediction using large margin nearest neighbor

Guanidine hydrochloride has been widely used in the initial recovery steps of active protein from the inclusion bodies in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). The knowledge of the guanidine hydrochloride effects on the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) phase diagram behavior is still inadequate and no comprehensive theory exists for the prediction of the experimental trends. Therefore the effect the ...

Liquid alloy printing of microfluidic stretchable electronics.

Recently, microfluidic stretchable electronics has attracted great interest from academia since conductive liquids allow for larger cross-sections when stretched and hence low resistance at longer lengths. However, as a serial process it has suffered from low throughput, and a parallel processing technology is needed for more complex systems and production at low costs. In this work, we demonst...

Inkjet Printing onto Liquid Crystal Thin Films

Large scale structures in liquid crystal/clay colloids

liquid crystal, colloid, SAXS Suspensions of three different clays in K15, a thermotropic liquid crystal have been studied by optical microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering. The three clays were Claytone AF, a surface treated natural montmorillonite, Laponite RD, a synthetic hectorite and mined Sepiolite. The Claytone and Laponite were sterically stabilized whereas Sepiolite formed a relat...

Design and implementation of a large-scale liquid nitrogen archive.

UK Biobank required a cryogenic facility to store, in vapour phase, a minimum of 5 000 000 1.2 ml capacity micro-tubes held in racks of 96 tubes below -180 degrees C for a 20 year period. The archive would be housed in a 900 m(2) industrial unit remote from the main laboratory area that would be generally unmanned and would require a complete cryogenic infrastructure. A commercial supplier was ...
