Self Assembly Mechanism of Water Droplets
這是一系列關於水蒸氣冷凝為極細微水珠的實驗。其中可以歸納為三大部分,第一部分是基礎實驗,將水蒸氣導引至親水性介面上,觀察冷凝水珠的結構。雖然看似簡單平常,但是卻發現:不同溫度的水蒸氣,其冷凝最初始的細微珠粒,尺寸相同;爾後溫度高者,堆疊速率較大,以至於最後同時呈現的水珠大小不一,尺寸不同!
第二部分,是針對冷凝水珠自我組裝機制的探討。實驗是將水蒸氣導引至密度小於1的高分子溶液上,並藉由揮發性溶劑快速揮發,將水珠粒「分層保留」以便更深入了解「解構」後的水珠群聚機制。在這組實驗中得到兩張有趣的圖片:
在討論時,我是從對流機制切入,嘗試解構上面兩張圖。
第三部分的實驗,是將水蒸氣導引到磁場及靜電場上,觀察冷凝的機構。這部分呈現出來的結果,推翻了一般「水分子為電中性應該在電場與磁場中不受影響?」刻板觀念,實驗呈現水分子:不但在電磁場上不易長大同時也有固定的散佈模式(assembly pattern)。同時也觀察到:水分子在正電場形成的凝結水珠較為均勻,在負電場則表現出較大親水性特質。這部分的實驗對日後研究細胞膜上水分子通道應有助益。
I have tried to ask a famous math professor if he can create a formula describing the ordered array of water droplets. “Then, I should study Physics first!” He said. Condensation is the thing we live with, being found everywhere, passing without notice. But we never know when it dose start? By coalescence, water droplets grow bigger, but are not round again. We used the polymer film as template and designed the solution lighter than water, so the minute droplets will sink to the bottom and layer by layer. After seconds we may have multilayers of ordered array. This experiment presented here is actually the diary of the growth of water droplets through condensation, upon volatile fluid, magnetic field and electric field. Through convection, it discusses the self assembly mechanism of water droplets and peep into the uniformity of the size of water droplets. In this experiment, convection and magneto-electric force did play important roles in the self assembly mechanism of water droplets. The topic is mostly concerned as we are surrounded by magneto-electric waves in today’s world. This is the first step in discovering the homogeneous state of water droplets, providing insights into the self assembly mechanism of water droplets with nano sizes.
水滴奇遇記-蓮花效應的真面目
Lotus self-cleaning effect arises because the leaves have the superhydrophobic surfaces. When rain falls onto a lotus leaf, water beads up as a result of surface tension. The water drops promptly roll off the surface, taking every dirt with them. This phenomenon is called the lotus effect. With the aid of a light microscope and an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope, we observe and describe the morphology of the leaves of Nelumbo nucifera in detail. We successfully observe the real interface between air, water droplets and the papillae of a lotus leaf, and find the evidence of a composite surface that is formed by epicuticular wax crystals and air. These observations improve our understanding of the two-level composite surfaces that are formed by micro-scale papillae, nano-scale epicuticular wax crystals and air. We try the method of using the critical angle of a static drop beginning to roll on inclined surface to evaluate the self-cleaning ability. We then find out that it may be a more precise criterion compared to using the static contact angle for the evaluation of the lotus effect. Literature review shows that the earlier investigation lacks the height(H) and interval(I) of the projections on the lotus leaf surface. A close relationship between the self-cleaning property and the H/I ratio is found. In this study, we present the experimental data of the height and interval of the projections on four different species of plant leaves that all have lotus effect, which may be of great help to technological applications. 蓮花效應是指蓮葉表面具有超疏水性與自我潔淨的能力,當雨水落在葉面,因為表面張力的作用形成水珠,水滴迅速滾離葉面,把灰塵一起帶走。本實驗以光學顯微鏡和環境式掃描式電子顯微鏡觀察蓮葉,詳細描述其表面形態,成功的發現空氣、水滴和蓮葉乳突真實的接觸界面以及表面蠟和空氣構成複合表面的證據。實驗結果可以使乳突、奈米表面臘質和空氣構成的雙層次複合表面更容易被了解。我們嘗試以水滴傾斜滾動臨界角來評估自潔能力強弱,實驗結果比傳統使用靜止接觸角更為準確。表面高度和間距的比值與蓮花效應有很大的關係,查閱文獻顯示蓮葉缺乏這些資料,本研究提出四種有自潔能力的葉子的實驗數據,這些數據應該對科技應用有很大的幫助。
死亡巧克力—切切割割好計謀
三角形的邊上取任意多個點,我們可以把這塊大三角形沿著切割線切割成較小塊的三角形,但切割線必須是點(或頂點)和點的連線,而且必須切割三角形,同時可以切任意大小的三角形,如圖(1)與圖(2)。但不可以一開始就取走整個三角形。定義拿到最後一塊三角形的人獲勝,而在多邊型中的玩法與在三角形中相同。 我們分A、B、C三種規則來討論,其中A規則即是上面提到的玩法,B規則大部分的玩法和A規則都相同,唯一不同的地方在於:A規則中,只要有一方取到剩下的圖形為三角形,另一方就可以直接取走剩下的三角形,而B規則規定即使剩下的圖形已經是三角形,也必須取到剩下的圖形邊上都沒有分點為止。C規則是限制玩家一次所能取的三角形數來進行遊戲。 我們完成了A、B、C規則中三角形與多邊形的必勝策略,並找出必勝策略之間的關聯。 ;Given any numbers of points on the sides of a triangle, the players can cut this triangle into pieces. Each cutting line has to be one, linked between two points given from two different sides. And the player can’t have to cut smaller triangles out of the original triangle. The out-cut triangles can be chosen randomly without any restriction in size, just like what’s shown in picture(1)and(2). Meanwhile the first player can’t cut the original triangle exactly all out in the very beginning process. We define the player as the winner, who gets the last triangle. And the above way we play can be applies to any multi-side shapes. We discussed the question respectively in three rules, A, B, and C. Rule A is what we mention above. Rule B is generally the same as rule A, except for the only difference:The rule A , if there is any triangle left , the next player can get it directly, but while in rule B, the every next player has to cut out smaller triangles until no point is left on sides. Rule C proceeds on conditions that there is a limitation to a certain number of triangles cut out at a time. We has finished the winning tactic respectively in rule A, B, and C in the games with a triangle and multi-side shapes. Furthermore, we find the connection between the winning tactives.
蜘蛛數
We understood the definition and meaning of spider number by reading〝Wonders of Numbers〞. It interested us so much. So, we took further step to study the situation of extreme value when the gap sometimes lie on the line and sometimes on the circle or even on both. That is to say, we explored the relation between spider number and the gap when the spider number is maximum or minimum. New research for the application of spider number involves several directions. First, we design a new game called〝Stepping Land Mine〞with the rule of spider number. Give you a net with several hidden gaps, trying to find the right positions of gaps. Second is the further result for a different type of net about regular n-polygon. Third is a tactic for a net with destroying of the strategy points. In this situation, the gaps amount on the circle and on the line are fixed. At the same time, consider the situation of circles and lines designing the tactic of placing the gaps to attain the maximum of the destructive effect. 在本文中我們定義一個蜘蛛網上的蜘蛛數,若在蜘蛛網中加入缺口後,會影響蜘蛛數的大小。我們探討蜘蛛網上的缺口,該如何分配才能夠得到蜘蛛數的極值(最大值及最小值)。先觀察一直線和圓上缺口如何放置蜘蛛數有極值,再探討許多條直線及圓上的情況,進而推展至許多同心圓及通過圓心的許多條放射線的缺口,該如何放置,蜘蛛數才會有極值發生。
二次函數上正三角形建構之研究及探討
在拋物線上置掛正三角形看似簡單,其實不然。本篇文章研究在二次函數的各種不同情況下,可做正三角形的分佈以及其個數。
1. 在一條拋物線上時,最多只能作正三角形。
4. 在三條對稱軸相等的拋物線和共頂點開口大小不同之拋物線上,本篇文章證明一定能找出正三角形落在它們之上。但由於最多有四個分界點,要解四次方乘組過於繁複,於是本篇文章對分界點作了一些估計,找出了分界點的極限值。
5. 本篇文章證明了對於給定的正n 邊形,存在一1 元n-1 次方程式可以通過它所有頂點。
Building a regular triangle on a parabolic curve looks easy . In fact , it doesn’t . This Article researches regular triangles distributions and its numbers in different conditions.
1. On one parabolic curve can only build regular triangles , squares and other regular polygons can’t be built.
4. For three parabolic curves which has same symmetrical axis or three concurrent parabolic curves, we prove that it can build at least one regular triangle on them .But because it can have at most 4 boundary points, to solve quartic equation is to complicated. So we do some estimation of boundary points, and find out some limits.
5. This Article prove that for given regular polygons , there exists a one dimension n-1 orders equation can pass all its apexes.
奇妙的三維世界
本實作以光學全像術為基礎,拍攝出三維立體的影像。內容主要為分別製作「穿透式」全像片、「反射式」全像片及「彩虹」全像片等三部份。其中,在反射式全像片中,嘗試以不同數量的光束來拍攝。發現以單光束法拍攝出的全像片比較容易成功,但重建影像的視角與效果都不如雙光束拍攝法來的好。在拍攝彩虹全像片的過程中我們令狹縫為變因,做有加狹縫與未加狹縫的實驗,實驗發現效果不同。並以改變狹縫的角度、方位,來觀察底片的變化。最後,觀察出豐富多樣的彩虹變化型態。全像片可重建拍攝的物光與參考光,並顯現拍攝物的三維狀態。可應用於信用卡、紙鈔防偽,廠商標籤,附加商品(如鑰匙圈、貼紙),廣告看板等,用途廣泛。 The purpose of this project is to construct the 3-dimensional images utilized optical holography. The holograms we made can be categorized into three main types: transmission, reflection and rainbow. In reflection hologram, we have tried to construct the hologram by the use of different number of light beams. It could be found that the reconstructed image of the hologram formed by a single beam is better than those of the hologram formed by two beams. However, the field of view and image quality of the two-beam hologram was better than those of single-beam hologram. In rainbow hologram, we varied the orientation and position of slit to investigate the quality of the reconstructed images. The reconstructed images displayed rainbow image diversity. In application, the holograms can display three-dimensional images by reconstructing the hologram. In addition, the holograms are in widespread applied in security applications of credit card、banknotes、labels、stickers etc.
