Particle imaging technique for measuring the deformation rate of hydrogel microstructures
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique for measuring the instantaneous deformation rate of hydrogel microstructures is introduced. In developing this technique, we have adapted microscopic particle image velocimetry, a method for measuring velocity fields in microfluidic devices. Small fluorescent seed particles are incorporated into the hydrogel microstructure, and as the structure swells or contracts, the displacement of the seed particles over some small time Dt is measured using a cross-correlation technique. By providing local deformation rate data in hydrogel microstructures, this technique will allow for optimization of device designs as well as providing a means for determining the validity of hydrogel expansion models. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~00!01622-3#

Evolution of recorded microstructures in minerals during cooling of Zarrin intrusion, evidence for dynamic deformation
The Zarrin granitoids is located in the west of Yazd block, Central Iran. Zarrin granitoids exhibit mylonitic rocks ranging from protomylonitic to mylontic. In Zarrin granitoids examples of sub-magmatic, microstructures are represented by chessboard patterns in quartz and sub-magmatic fractures in plagioclase, indicating deformation at high-temperature conditions (T > 650º C) and the presence o...
متن کاملThree-dimensional fabrication of heterogeneous microstructures using soft membrane deformation and optofluidic maskless lithography.
We propose a method for high-throughput generation of 3D microstructures using a membrane-mounted microfluidic channel. Utilizing an optofluidic maskless lithography system, photopolymerized 3D microstructures are fabricated in a layer-by-layer fashion with the thickness of each layer controlled by the deformation of the membrane. The combination of low numerical aperture optical systems for ph...
متن کاملCompression of hard core-soft shell nanoparticles at liquid-liquid interfaces: influence of the shell thickness.
Soft hydrogel particles show a rich structural and mechanical behaviour compared to hard particles, both in bulk and when confined in two dimensions at a fluid interface. Moreover, encapsulation into hydrogel shells makes it possible to transfer the tunability of soft steric interactions to hard nanoparticle cores, which bear interest for applications, e.g. in terms of optical, magnetic and rei...
متن کاملHot Deformation Behavior of 17-7 PH Stainless Steel
To investigate the hot deformation behavior of 17-7 PH stainless steel, hot compression tests were carried out at the temperatures of 950, 1050 and 1150 oC and strain rates of 0.001 s-1 to 0.1 s-1. Accordingly, the hot working behavior was studied by the analyses of flow stress curves, work hardening rate versus stress curves, exponent- type constitutive equations and deformed microstructures. ...
