Macroscopic Evidence of Thermally Activated Friction with Polytetrafluoroethylene
Under macroscopic pin-on-disk testing the sliding friction coefficient of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was investigated over a temperature range of approximately 200–400 K. This study examines the nature of the temperature dependence by testing PTFE pins at varying temperature and humidity on a linear reciprocating pin-on-disk tribometer. The friction coefficient increased monotonically with ...
متن کاملThermally-actuated, phase change flow control for microfluidic systems.
An easy to implement, thermally-actuated, noninvasive method for flow control in microfluidic devices is described. This technique takes advantage of the phase change of the working liquid itself-the freezing and melting of a portion of a liquid slug-to noninvasively close and open flow passages (referred to as a phase change valve). The valve was designed for use in a miniature diagnostic syst...
متن کاملPorous Materials from Thermally Activated Kaolinite: Preparation, Characterization and Application
In the present study, porous alumina/silica materials were prepared by selective leaching of silicon/aluminum constituents from thermal-activated kaolinite in inorganic acid or alkali liquor. The correlations between the characteristics of the prepared porous materials and the dissolution properties of activated kaolinite were also investigated. The results show that the specific surface area (...
متن کاملBiological materials: Fishing for compliance.
692 nature materials | VOL 7 | SEPTEMBER 2008 | www.nature.com/naturematerials constructed chiral anionic layers based on the bridged metal centres. The synthesis involves a subtle enantioselective interaction between a solution of enantiopure cations and a racemic mixture (equal amounts of the two enantiomers) of the metallic components. The reaction leads to the formation of the desired enant...
متن کاملFlow control valves for analytical microfluidic chips without mechanical parts based on thermally responsive monolithic polymers.
Monolithic plugs of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) cross-linked with 5% methylenebisacrylamide have been prepared by photoinitiated polymerization within the channel of a microfluidic device. The volume change associated with the polymer phase transition at its lower critical solution temperature of 32 degrees C allows both the rapid swelling and the deswelling of the monoliths enabling the polyme...
