A predictive model was proposed for determining the high-temperature free height of perfluoroalkoxy alkane springs in air-operated double-bellow pumps with the aim of investigating their relaxation. The model incorporates classical spring deformation theory and considers the material, structure, and real-world operating conditions of the perfluoroalkoxy alkane springs. Experimental validation of the model is also conducted. This study examines the effects of varying temperatures and pre-compression values on the relaxation of perfluoroalkoxy alkane springs' free height. It collects relaxation curves under different temperatures and various pre-compression conditions. The results indicate that spring relaxation increases with higher temperatures when there is no pre-compression. Furthermore, increasing pre-compression at the same temperatures leads to greater spring relaxation. Pre-compression has a more significant impact on spring relaxation. By comparing the experimental data with the simulated curve generated by the model, it is evident that the predicted spring free height relaxation closely aligns with the actual measurements. This verification demonstrates the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed model in evaluating the relaxation of perfluoroalkoxy alkane springs' free height. Moreover, the model provides a valuable tool for predicting the lifespan of similar perfluoroalkoxy alkane springs in engineering applications.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to characterize the morphological and immunological aspects of biointegration at the optic-cornea joint of a second-generation synthetic corneal device.

Methods: The initial prototype, single-piece optic-skirt configuration, is constructed from compact and flexible perfluoroalkoxy alkane with porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) overlying the skirt to allow skirt-cornea biointegration. The second-generation version was modified to add ePTFE around the optic wall to allow optic-cornea biointegration.

The accurate liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis of phosphorylated isomers from glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathways is a challenging analytical problem in metabolomics due to extraction problems from the biological matrix, adherence to stainless steel surfaces leading to tailing in LC, and incomplete separation of hexose and pentose phosphate isomers. In this study, we present a targeted HILIC-ESI-MS/MS method based on a BEH amide fully porous 1.7 μm particle column with an inert surface coating of column hardware and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) acquisition fully covering the glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway metabolites.

Frequency Detection for String Instruments Using 1D-2D Non-Contact Mode Triboelectric Sensors.

Micromachines (Basel)

August 2024

Department of Electronic Engineering, Institute for Wearable Convergence Electronics, Kyung Hee University, 1732 Deogyeong-daero, Giheung-gu, Yongin 17104, Republic of Korea.

The proliferation of small electronic devices has significantly increased the demand for self-powered sensors. This study introduces a triboelectric frequency sensor (TFS) that combines the frequency-responsive characteristics of triboelectric nanogenerators with a simple one-dimensional structure for sustainable vibration measurement. This sensor is specifically designed to aid in the tuning of string instruments, capable of detecting frequency responses up to 330 Hz generated by string vibrations.

Efficient Anti-Icing of a Stable PFA Coating for Wind Power Turbine Blades.

Langmuir

July 2024

Department of Energy and Refrigerating Air-Conditioning Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 10608, Taiwan.

Superhydrophobic coatings are increasingly recognized as a promising approach to enhancing power generation efficiency and prolonging the operational lifespan of wind turbines. In this research, a durable superhydrophobic perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA) coating was developed and specifically designed for spray application onto the surface of wind turbine blades. The PFA coating features a micronano hierarchical structure, exhibiting a high water contact angle of 167.

Organic peroxy radicals (ROO) are key oxidants in a wide range of chemical systems such as living organisms, chemical synthesis and polymerization systems, combustion systems, the natural environment, and the Earth's atmosphere. Although surfaces are ubiquitous in all of these systems, the interactions of organic peroxy radicals with these surfaces have not been studied until today because of a lack of adequate detection techniques. In this work, the uptake and reaction of gas-phase organic peroxy radicals (CHOO and i-CHOO) with solid surfaces was studied by monitoring each radical specifically and in real-time with mass spectrometry.
