A volume-memory liquid
نویسندگان
چکیده
By dispersing nanoporous particles in an electrolyte solution, a “milklike” suspension is formed. At a low temperature, the nanoporous phase is hydrophilic, and thus the liquid can fill the nanopores spontaneously. As the temperature increases, the nanopore surfaces become hydrophobic. Consequently, the confined liquid defiltrates, leading to a significant system expansion. As the suspension works in between two different temperatures, it behaves as a thermal machine, exhibiting a volume-memory characteristic. Due to the large surface area, its energy density and the deformability are much higher than that of conventional shape-memory solids. © 2007 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.2803752

Thermal effects on infiltration of a solubility-sensitive volume-memory liquid
As the ion density at a solid–liquid interface changes, the interfacial tension varies accordingly, which can lead to a large energy density output, particularly when amplified by the high specific surface area of a nanoporous material. This concept is validated by the results of a controlled-temperature infiltration experiment on a hydrophobic zeolite immersed in a saturated aqueous solution o...
متن کاملP84: Effect of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) as a Microglia-Derived Anti-Iinflammatory Ccytokine on Improving Memory Impairment Following Hippocampal Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rat
Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) as a microglia-derived anti-inflammatory cytokine has a pivotal activity in memory consolidation. However, there is limited evidence on brain cell-originated IGF2 expression, regulation and function in pathological condition and neuro-inflammation. Hence, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of IGF2 on improving the memory impairment in a...
متن کاملCharacterization of Liquid Bridge in Gas/Oil Gravity Drainage in Fractured Reservoirs
Gravity drainage is the main mechanism which controls the oil recovery from fractured reservoirs in both gas-cap drive and gas injection processes. The liquid bridge formed between two adjacent matrix blocks is responsible for capillary continuity phenomenon. The accurate determination of gas-liquid interface profile of liquid bridge is crucial to predict fracture capillary pressure precisely. ...
متن کاملLong-term correlations and multifractal analysis of trading volumes for Chinese stocks
We investigate the temporal correlations and multifractal nature of trading volume of 22 liquid stocks traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2003. We find that the trading volume exhibits size-dependent non-universal long memory and multifractal nature. No crossover in the power-law dependence of the detrended fluctuation functions is observed. Our results show that the intraday pattern in t...
