Modeling and experimental performance analysis of a novel heating system and its application to glass hot embossing technology.

Traditional glass molding involves infrared heating; however, the thermal cycle time is long. A molding technique based on three-dimensional carbide-bonded graphene (CBG) has been developed to mold boron silicon glass. This CBG coating on a wafer silicon die can serve as a thin-film resistance heater to heat up the sample surface very rapidly with a relatively low applied voltage.

Structure of graphene and its disorders: a review.

Monolayer graphene exhibits extraordinary properties owing to the unique, regular arrangement of atoms in it. However, graphene is usually modified for specific applications, which introduces disorder. This article presents details of graphene structure, including sp hybridization, critical parameters of the unit cell, formation of σ and π bonds, electronic band structure, edge orientations, and the number and stacking order of graphene layers.

Fluid jet-array parallel machining of optical microstructure array surfaces.

Optical microstructure array surfaces such as micro-lens array surface, micro-groove array surface etc., are being used in more and more optical products, depending on its ability to produce a unique or particular performance. The geometrical complexity of the optical microstructures array surfaces makes them difficult to be fabricated.
