Bu protokolde, çift cidarlı konsantrik silindir geometrisine sahip ticari bir ortogonal süperpozisyon reoloji tekniği için Newton sıvılarını kullanarak viskozite kalibrasyon ölçümleri yapmak için ayrıntılı bir deneysel prosedür sunuyoruz.

So...

Karmaşık sıvıların reolojik özelliklerini anlamak, güvenilir ve tekrarlanabilir ürünlerin geliştirilmesi ve üretilmesi için birçok endüstri için gereklidir1. Bu "karmaşık sıvılar", günlük yaşamımızda, örneğin kişisel bakım ürünlerinde, gıdalarda, kozmetiklerde ve ev ürünlerinde yaygın olarak bulunan süspansiyonları, polimerik sıvıları ve köpükleri içerir. Reolojik veya akış özellikleri (örneğin, viskozite), son kullanım ve işlenebilirlik için performans metriklerinin oluşturulmasında önemli miktarlardır, ancak akış özellikleri, karmaşık akışkanlar içinde bulunan mikro yapılarla birbirine bağlıdır. Karmaşık sıvıların onları basit sıvılardan ayıran belirgin bir özelliği, çoklu uzunluk ölçeklerini kapsayan çeşitli mikro yapılara sahip olmalarıdır2. Bu mikro yapılar, makroskopik özelliklerinde değişikliklere neden olan farklı akış koşullarından kolayca etkilenebilir. Akış ve deformasyona yanıt olarak karmaşık akışkanların doğrusal olmayan viskoelastik davranışı yoluyla bu yapı-özellik döngüsünün kilidini açmak, deneysel reologlar için zorlu bir görev olmaya devam etmektedir.
Ortogonal süperpozisyon (OSP) reolojisi3 , bu ölçüm zorluğunu ele almak için sağlam bir tekniktir. Bu teknikte, küçük bir genlikli salınımlı kesme akışı, tek yönlü bir birincil kararlı kesme akışına ortogonal olarak üst üste bindirilir, bu da uygulanan birincil kesme akışı altında viskoelastik bir gevşeme spektrumunun eşzamanlı olarak ölçülmesini sağlar. Daha spesifik olmak gerekirse, küçük salınımlı kesme pertürbasyonu, doğrusal viskoelastisite4'teki teoriler kullanılarak analiz edilebilirken, doğrusal olmayan akış koşulu birincil kararlı kesme akışı ile elde edilir. İki akış alanı ortogonal olduğundan ve bu nedenle bağlanmadığından, pertürbasyon spektrumları, birincil doğrusal olmayan akış5 altındaki mikroyapının varyasyonu ile doğrudan ilişkili olabilir. Bu gelişmiş ölçüm tekniği, formülasyonlarını, işlemelerini ve uygulamalarını optimize etmek için karmaşık sıvılardaki yapı-özellik-işleme ilişkilerini aydınlatma fırsatı sunar.
Modern OSP reolojisinin uygulanması ani bir epifaninin sonucu değildi; daha ziyade, onlarca yıllık özel cihazların geliştirilmesine dayanmaktadır. İlk özel yapım OSP aparatıSimmons 6 tarafından 1966 yılına kadar uzanıyor ve bundan sonra 7,8,9,10 gibi birçok çaba sarf edildi. Bu erken özel yapım cihazlar, hizalama sorunları, pompalama akış etkisi (ortogonal salınım sağlamak için bob'un eksenel hareketi nedeniyle) ve cihaz hassasiyetinin sınırları gibi birçok dezavantajdan muzdariptir. 1997 yılında, Vermant ve ark.3, önceki cihazlardan daha geniş bir viskozite aralığına sahip sıvılar için OSP ölçümlerini sağlayan ticari ayrı bir motor-transdüser reometresi üzerindeki kuvvet yeniden dengeleme dönüştürücüsünü (FRT) değiştirdi. Bu modifikasyon, normal kuvvet yeniden dengeleme dönüştürücüsünün gerilim kontrollü bir reometre olarak işlev görmesini sağlar ve eksenel kuvvetin ölçümüne ek olarak eksenel bir salınım uygular. Son zamanlarda, OSP ölçümleri için gerekli geometriler, Vermant'ın metodolojisinden sonra, ticari ayrı bir motor-transdüser reometresi için serbest bırakılmıştır.
Ticari OSP reolojisinin ortaya çıkmasından bu yana, bu tekniğin çeşitli karmaşık sıvıların araştırılması için uygulanmasına artan bir ilgi vardır. Örnek olarak kolloidal süspansiyonlar 11,12, kolloidal jeller13,14 ve gözlükler15,16,17 verilebilir. Ticari cihazın mevcudiyeti OSP araştırmasını teşvik ederken, karmaşık OSP geometrisi, ölçümün diğer rutin reolojik tekniklerden daha iyi anlaşılmasını gerektirir. OSP akış hücresi, çift cidarlı eşmerkezli silindir (veya Couette) geometrisine dayanır. Sıvının dairesel boşluklar ve rezervuar arasında ileri geri akmasını sağlamak için açık üst ve açık alt tasarıma sahiptir. Üretici tarafından geometri tasarımında yapılan optimizasyona rağmen, OSP operasyonu sırasında akışkan homojen olmayan bir akış alanı, geometrik son etkiler ve artık pompalama akışı yaşar ve bunların hepsi önemli deneysel hatalara neden olabilir. Önceki çalışmamız18, bu teknik için Newton sıvılarını kullanan önemli son etki düzeltme prosedürlerini bildirmiştir. Doğru viskozite sonuçları elde etmek için, hem primer hem de ortogonal yönlerde uygun son etki faktörleri uygulanmalıdır. Bu protokolde, OSP reolojik tekniği için ayrıntılı bir kalibrasyon metodolojisi sunmayı ve ölçüm hatalarını azaltmak için en iyi uygulamalar için önerilerde bulunmayı amaçlıyoruz. Bu yazıda OSP geometri kurulumu, numune yükleme ve OSP test ayarları ile ilgili olarak açıklanan prosedürler, Newton dışı akışkan ölçümleri için kolayca benimsenebilir ve tercüme edilebilir olmalıdır. Kullanıcıların, herhangi bir sıvı sınıflandırmasında (Newton veya Newton olmayan) OSP ölçümlerinden önce uygulamaları için son etki düzeltme faktörlerini belirlemek üzere burada açıklanan kalibrasyon prosedürlerini kullanmalarını tavsiye ederiz. Son faktörler için kalibrasyon prosedürlerinin daha önce bildirilmediğini unutmayın. Bu makalede sağlanan protokol ayrıca, genel olarak doğru reolojik ölçümlerin nasıl yapılacağına dair adım adım kılavuz ve ipuçlarını ve reometre kullanıcıları tarafından göz ardı edilebilecek "ham" verilere karşı "ölçülen" verilerin anlaşılmasına ilişkin teknik kaynağı açıklamaktadır.

Ortogonal süperpozisyon (OSP) reolojisi, küçük genlikli salınımlı bir kesme deformasyonunun ortogonal olarak birincil kesme akışına üst üste bindirilmesini içeren gelişmiş bir reolojik tekniktir. Bu teknik, karmaşık akışkanların yapısal dinamiklerinin doğrusal olmayan akış koşulları altında ölçülmesine izin verir, bu da çok çeşitli karmaşık akışkanların performansının anlaşılması ve tahmin edilmesi için önemlidir. OSP reolojik tekniği, 1960'lardan bu yana, özellikle bu tekniğin gücünü vurgulayan özel yapım cihazlar aracılığıyla uzun bir gelişim geçmişine sahiptir.

Concurrent Quantitative Conductivity and Mechanical Properties Measurements of Organic Photovoltaic Materials using AFM

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials are inherently inhomogeneous at the nanometer scale. Nanoscale inhomogeneity of OPV materials affects performance of photovoltaic devices. Thus, understanding of spatial variations in composition as well as electrical properties of OPV materials is of paramount importance for moving PV technology forward.1,2 In this paper, we describe a protocol for quantitative measurements of electrical and mechanical properties of OPV materials with sub-100 nm resolution. Currently, materials properties measurements performed using commercially available AFM-based techniques (PeakForce, conductive AFM) generally provide only qualitative information. The values for resistance as well as Young's modulus measured using our method on the prototypical ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PC61BM system correspond well with literature data. The P3HT:PC61BM blend separates onto PC61BM-rich and P3HT-rich domains. Mechanical properties of PC61BM-rich and P3HT-rich domains are different, which allows for domain attribution on the surface of the film. Importantly, combining mechanical and electrical data allows for correlation of the domain structure on the surface of the film with electrical properties variation measured through the thickness of the film.

Detection and Recovery of Palladium, Gold and Cobalt Metals from the Urban Mine Using Novel Sensors/Adsorbents Designated with Nanoscale Wagon-wheel-shaped Pores

Developing low-cost, efficient processes for recovering and recycling palladium, gold and cobalt metals from urban mine remains a significant challenge in industrialized countries. Here, the development of optical mesosensors/adsorbents (MSAs) for efficient recognition and selective recovery of Pd(II), Au(III), and Co(II) from urban mine was achieved. A simple, general method for preparing MSAs based on using high-order mesoporous monolithic scaffolds was described. Hierarchical cubic Ia3d wagon-wheel-shaped MSAs were fabricated by anchoring chelating agents (colorants) into three-dimensional pores and micrometric particle surfaces of the mesoporous monolithic scaffolds. Findings show, for the first time, evidence of controlled optical recognition of Pd(II), Au(III), and Co(II) ions and a highly selective system for recovery of Pd(II) ions (up to ~95%) in ores and industrial wastes. Furthermore, the controlled assessment processes described herein involve evaluation of intrinsic properties (e.g., visual signal change, long-term stability, adsorption efficiency, extraordinary sensitivity, selectivity, and reusability); thus, expensive, sophisticated instruments are not required. Results show evidence that MSAs will attract worldwide attention as a promising technological means of recovering and recycling palladium, gold and cobalt metals.

Because of the importance and extensive use of palladium, gold and cobalt metals in high-technology equipment, their recovery and recycling constitute an important industrial challenge. The metal recovery system described herein is a simple, low-cost means for the effective detection, removal, and recovery of these metals from the urban mine.

Experimental Methods for Investigation of Shape Memory Based Elastocaloric Cooling Processes and Model Validation

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) using elastocaloric cooling processes have the potential to be an environmentally friendly alternative to the conventional vapor compression based cooling process. Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti) based alloy systems, especially, show large elastocaloric effects. Furthermore, exhibit large latent heats which is a necessary material property for the development of an efficient solid-state based cooling process. A scientific test rig has been designed to investigate these processes and the elastocaloric effects in SMAs. The realized test rig enables independent control of an SMA&#39;s mechanical loading and unloading cycles, as well as conductive heat transfer between SMA cooling elements and a heat source/sink. The test rig is equipped with a comprehensive monitoring system capable of synchronized measurements of mechanical and thermal parameters. In addition to determining the process-dependent mechanical work, the system also enables measurement of thermal caloric aspects of the elastocaloric cooling effect through use of a high-performance infrared camera. This combination is of particular interest, because it allows illustrations of localization and rate effects &#8212; both important for efficient heat transfer from the medium to be cooled.
The work presented describes an experimental method to identify elastocaloric material properties in different materials and sample geometries. Furthermore, the test rig is used to investigate different cooling process variations. The introduced analysis methods enable a differentiated consideration of material, process and related boundary condition influences on the process efficiency. The comparison of the experimental data with the simulation results (of a thermomechanically coupled finite element model) allows for better understanding of the underlying physics of the elastocaloric effect. In addition, the experimental results, as well as the findings based on the simulation results, are used to improve the material properties.

Experimental methods for investigation of solid state cooling processes and characterization of elastocaloric material properties of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are presented. A custom-built test rig has been designed for controlling and comprehensive monitoring of elastocaloric cooling processes. Furthermore, it provides a validation platform for thermomechanically coupled modeling approaches.

Dielectric RheoSANS &#8212; Simultaneous Interrogation of Impedance, Rheology and Small Angle Neutron Scattering of Complex Fluids

A procedure for the operation of a new dielectric RheoSANS instrument capable of simultaneous interrogation of the electrical, mechanical and microstructural properties of complex fluids is presented. The instrument consists of a Couette geometry contained within a modified forced convection oven mounted on a commercial rheometer. This instrument is available for use on the small angle neutron scattering (SANS) beamlines at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). The Couette geometry is machined to be transparent to neutrons and provides for measurement of the electrical properties and microstructural properties of a sample confined between titanium cylinders while the sample undergoes arbitrary deformation. Synchronization of these measurements is enabled through the use of a customizable program that monitors and controls the execution of predetermined experimental protocols. Described here is a protocol to perform a flow sweep experiment where the shear rate is logarithmically stepped from a maximum value to a minimum value holding at each step for a specified period of time while frequency dependent dielectric measurements are made. Representative results are shown from a sample consisting of a gel composed of carbon black aggregates dispersed in propylene carbonate. As the gel undergoes steady shear, the carbon black network is mechanically deformed, which causes an initial decrease in conductivity associated with the breaking of bonds comprising the carbon black network. However, at higher shear rates, the conductivity recovers associated with the onset of shear thickening. Overall, these results demonstrate the utility of the simultaneous measurement of the rheo-electro-microstructural properties of these suspensions using the dielectric RheoSANS geometry.

Resonance Fluorescence of an InGaAs Quantum Dot in a Planar Cavity Using Orthogonal Excitation and Detection

The ability to perform simultaneous resonant excitation and fluorescence detection is important for quantum optical measurements of quantum dots (QDs). Resonant excitation without fluorescence detection &#8211; for example, a differential transmission measurement &#8211; can determine some properties of the emitting system, but does not allow applications or measurements based on the emitted photons. For example, the measurement of photon correlations, observation of the Mollow triplet, and realization of single photon sources all require collection of the fluorescence. Incoherent excitation with fluorescence detection &#8211; for example, above band-gap excitation &#8211; can be used to create single photon sources, but the disturbance of the environment due to the excitation reduces the indistinguishability of the photons. Single photon sources based on QDs will have to be resonantly excited to have high photon indistinguishability, and simultaneous collection of the photons will be necessary to make use of them. We demonstrate a method to resonantly excite a single QD embedded in a planar cavity by coupling the excitation beam into this cavity from the cleaved face of the sample while collecting the fluorescence along the sample&#39;s surface normal direction. By carefully matching the excitation beam to the waveguide mode of the cavity, the excitation light can couple into the cavity and interact with the QD. The scattered photons can couple to the Fabry-Perot mode of the cavity and escape in the surface normal direction. This method allows complete freedom in the detection polarization, but the excitation polarization is restricted by the propagation direction of the excitation beam. The fluorescence from the wetting layer provides a guide to align the collection path with respect to the excitation beam. The orthogonality of the excitation and detection modes enables resonant excitation of a single QD with negligible laser scattering background.

Resonant excitation of a single self-assembled quantum dot can be achieved using an excitation mode orthogonal to the fluorescence collection mode. We demonstrate a method using the waveguide and Fabry-Perot modes of a planar microcavity surrounding the quantum dots. The method allows complete freedom in the detection polarization.

Fabrication Procedures and Birefringence Measurements for Designing Magnetically Responsive Lanthanide Ion Chelating Phospholipid Assemblies

Bicelles are tunable disk-like polymolecular assemblies formed from a large variety of lipid mixtures. Applications range from membrane protein structural studies by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to nanotechnological developments including the formation of optically active and magnetically switchable gels. Such technologies require high control of the assembly size, magnetic response and thermal resistance. Mixtures of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) and its lanthanide ion (Ln3+) chelating phospholipid conjugate, 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-ethanolamine-diethylene triaminepentaacetate (DMPE-DTPA), assemble into highly magnetically responsive assemblies such as DMPC/DMPE-DTPA/Ln3+ (molar ratio 4:1:1) bicelles. Introduction of cholesterol (Chol-OH) and steroid derivatives in the bilayer results in another set of assemblies offering unique physico-chemical properties. For a given lipid composition, the magnetic alignability is proportional to the bicelle size. The complexation of Ln3+ results in unprecedented magnetic responses in terms of both magnitude and alignment direction. The thermo-reversible collapse of the disk-like structures into vesicles upon heating allows tailoring of the assemblies&#39; dimensions by extrusion through membrane filters with defined pore sizes. The magnetically alignable bicelles are regenerated by cooling to 5 &#176;C, resulting in assembly dimensions defined by the vesicle precursors. Herein, this fabrication procedure is explained and the magnetic alignability of the assemblies is quantified by birefringence measurements under a 5.5 T magnetic field. The birefringence signal, originating from the phospholipid bilayer, further enables monitoring of polymolecular changes occurring in the bilayer. This simple technique is complementary to NMR experiments that are commonly employed to characterize bicelles.

Fabrication procedures for highly magnetically responsive lanthanide ion chelating polymolecular assemblies are presented. The magnetic response is dictated by the assembly size, which is tailored by extrusion through nanopore membranes. The assemblies&#39; magnetic alignability and temperature-induced structural changes are monitored by birefringence measurements, a complimentary technique to nuclear magnetic resonance and small angle neutron scattering.

Atmospheric Pressure Fabrication of Large-Sized Single-Layer Rectangular SnSe Flakes

Tin selenide (SnSe) belongs to the family of layered metal chalcogenide materials with a buckled structure like phosphorene, and has shown potential for applications in two-dimensional nanoelectronics devices. Although many methods to synthesize SnSe nanocrystals have been developed, a simple way to fabricate large-sized single-layer SnSe flakes remains a great challenge. Herein, we show the experimental method to directly grow large-sized single-layer rectangular SnSe flakes on commonly used SiO2/Si insulating substrates using a straightforward two-step fabrication method in an atmospheric pressure quartz tube furnace system. The single-layer rectangular SnSe flakes with an average thickness of ~6.8 &#197; and lateral dimensions of about 30 &#181;m &#215; 50 &#181;m were fabricated by a combination of vapor transport deposition technique and nitrogen etching route. We characterized the morphology, microstructure, and electrical properties of the rectangular SnSe flakes and obtained excellent crystallinity and good electronic properties. This article about the two-step fabrication method can help researchers grow other similar two-dimensional, large-sized, single-layer materials using an atmospheric pressure system.

A protocol is presented demonstrating a two-step fabrication technique to grow large-sized single-layer rectangular shaped SnSe flakes on low-cost SiO2/Si dielectrics wafers in an atmospheric pressure quartz tube furnace system.

Hybrid Printing for the Fabrication of Smart Sensors

A method to combine additively manufactured substrates or foils and multilayer inkjet printing for the fabrication of sensor devices is presented. First, three substrates (acrylate, ceramics, and copper) are prepared. To determine the resulting material properties of these substrates, profilometer, contact angle, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and focused ion beam (FIB) measurements are done. The achievable printing resolution and suitable drop volume for each substrate are, then, found through the drop size tests. Then, layers of insulating and conductive ink are inkjet printed alternately to fabricate the target sensor structures. After each printing step, the respective layers are individually treated by photonic curing. The parameters used for the curing of each layer are adapted depending on the printed ink, as well as on the surface properties of the respective substrate. To confirm the resulting conductivity and to determine the quality of the printed surface, four-point probe and profilometer measurements are done. Finally, a measurement set-up and results achieved by such an all-printed sensor system are shown to demonstrate the achievable quality.

Here we present a protocol for the fabrication of inkjet-printed multilayer sensor structures on additively manufactured substrates and foil.

Cutting Procedures, Tensile Testing, and Ageing of Flexible Unidirectional Composite Laminates

Many body armor designs incorporate unidirectional (UD) laminates. UD laminates are constructed of thin (&#60;0.05 mm) layers of high-performance yarns, where the yarns in each layer are oriented parallel to each other and held in place using binder resins and thin polymer films. The armor is constructed by stacking the unidirectional layers in different orientations. To date, only very preliminary work has been performed to characterize the ageing of the binder resins used in unidirectional laminates and the effects on their performance. For example, during the development of the conditioning protocol used in the National Institute of Justice Standard-0101.06, UD laminates showed visual signs of delamination and reductions in V50, which is the velocity at which half of the projectiles are expected to perforate the armor, after ageing. A better understanding of the material property changes in UD laminates is necessary to comprehend the long-term performance of armors constructed from these materials. There are no current standards recommended for mechanically interrogating unidirectional (UD) laminate materials. This study explores methods and best practices for accurately testing the mechanical properties of these materials and proposes a new test methodology for these materials. Best practices for ageing these materials are also described.

The goal of the study was to develop protocols to prepare consistent specimens for accurate mechanical testing of high-strength aramid or ultra-high-molar-mass polyethylene-based flexible unidirectional composite laminate materials and to describe protocols for performing artificial ageing on these materials.

Procedure for the Transfer of Polymer Films Onto Porous Substrates with Minimized Defects

The fabrication of devices containing thin film composite membranes necessitates the transfer of these films onto the surfaces of arbitrary support substrates. Accomplishing this transfer in a highly controlled, mechanized, and reproducible manner can eliminate the creation of macroscale defect structures (e.g., tears, cracks, and wrinkles) within the thin film that compromise device performance and the usable area per sample. Here, we describe a general protocol for the highly controlled and mechanized transfer of a polymeric thin film onto an arbitrary porous support substrate for eventual use as a water filtration membrane device. Specifically, we fabricate a block copolymer (BCP) thin film on top of a sacrificial, water-soluble poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) layer and silicon wafer substrate. We then utilize a custom-designed, 3D-printed transfer tool and drain chamber system to deposit, lift-off, and transfer the BCP thin film onto the center of a porous anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) support disc. The transferred BCP thin film is shown to be consistently placed onto the center of the support surface due to the guidance of the meniscus formed between the water and the 3D-printed plastic drain chamber. We also compare our mechanized transfer-processed thin films to those that have been transferred by hand with the use of tweezers. Optical inspection and image analysis of the transferred thin films from the mechanized process confirm that little-to-no macroscale inhomogeneities or plastic deformations are produced, as compared to the multitude of tears and wrinkles produced from manual transfer by hand. Our results suggest that the proposed strategy for thin film transfer can reduce defects when compared to other methods across many systems and applications.

We present a procedure for highly controlled and wrinkle-free transfer of block copolymer thin films onto porous support substrates using a 3D-printed drain chamber. The drain chamber design is of general relevance to all procedures involving transfer of macromolecular films onto porous substrates, which is normally done by hand in an irreproducible fashion.
