光觸媒結合分子篩-去團聚及光催化效果探討

二氧化鈦是光觸媒中最常被使用的,雖然合成方法很多,但如何提升其產量及分解效果,一直是學界及業界的熱門議題。\r 在此篇報告中,我們發展出一種新的方法來製造二氧化鈦,利用控制合成時溶液的pH值、使用幾丁質當作新的保護劑,並且改變加熱的溫度和時間來得到二氧化鈦奈米顆粒。在降解實驗中亞甲藍光的分解反應速率級數為一級,降解亞甲藍液的半生期在2.9~7.0分鐘,比一般文獻的數十分至數小時以上的速度高出許多。\r 另外,在幾丁質未燒去的實驗中,我們發現亞甲籃分子會被吸附在幾丁質的表面上但不被分解,燒去幾丁質時奈米粒子又無法完全分散,為解決這一個問題,我們使用了分子篩,分子篩可以吸附許多有機物質,再加上其為具有許多中/微孔構造的鋁矽酸鹽礦物,奈米粒子可以分散在其表面而不生團聚;在光降解的實驗中發現光觸媒結合分子篩後可大幅提高染料的分解效果,在短短一分鐘之內便將亞甲藍分解掉一半以上!\r 這個實驗提供了很好的方法,可以快速有效的合成二氧化鈦奈米顆粒,作為光觸媒使用。我們相信這個方法可以推廣到其他有機汙染物質,以降低工業進步後對地球環境所造成之污染危害。

表面粗糙結構對疏水性影響之應用與研究

本研究從大自然中之「蓮花效應」引發學習興趣與研究動機,在蒐集相關資訊與文獻後,發現疏水功能不只是防水,還關係著日常生活品質之許多材料特性,包括防水、撥水、防潮、防銹、防蝕、抗菌防污、自清潔…等。而影響固體表面疏水性之兩大特性,包括物理之表面粗糙度與化學之超低表面能,本研究針對物理之表面粗糙度與疏水性之關係做探討,以相同之化學特性來比較不同號數之工業用砂紙之疏水行為,並就廣泛被引用之兩種模擬表面粗糙度與疏水性關係之模式:Wenzel and Cassie model,比較現有文獻對兩種模式之特性,選擇Cassie model 來進一步實驗驗證,以量測之平均接觸角 Θ 推算Cassie model 之表面粗糙係數Φ 值,並簡化不同砂紙顆粒模型為相同粒徑之球狀,以簡化之方程式來求得水珠與砂紙顆粒之實際接觸面積與球心夾角 θ,以提供高中學校能在經費與設備之限制下,仍能有效應用與印證Cassie model,獲得砂紙顆粒直徑與球心夾角 θ 自然對數值之關係。並就疏水性之生活應用,建立接觸角與 Φ 之關係曲線,驗證實驗之方程式,與延續過去之科展成果,以實驗成果提出可行性應用之建議。The interest and motivation of the present work was introduced from “lotus effect” in nature. After we collected related literature and information, we found that the function of the so-called “superhydrophobicity” behaves not only water repellency, but also a variety of real-life applications, including anti-fog, anti-corrosion, anti-bacteria, anti-fouling, self-cleaning, and so on. Pervious studies have pointed out that two criteria affecting the performance of hydrophobic surfaces are physical (roughness) and chemistry (surface tension) properties. This study focused on influence of physically surface roughness on hydrohyphobicity. Based on an identical surface chemistry, we employed different types of industrial sandpapers to mimic the lotus leaf, and investigated the relationship between roughness and hydrophobicity by using two famous models: Wenzel and Cassie models. Comparing with their basic assumptions to our study, we applied Cassie model to confirm our experimental results, in where one Cassie parameter (?) was proposed to simplify the Cassie equation. This superhydrophobic behavior can be well predicted by the Cassie model. This study continues previous achievement and offers some practical utilization according to our\r experimental results.

台灣水生食蟲植物~ 絲葉狸藻捕蟲行為及消化功能的進階探索

The “Insectivorous Plants”﹐ the first historical publication by Charles Darwin﹐contained the detailed observations and meticulous descriptions of various carnivorous plants and had become the most important reference for the study of carnivorous plants﹒ But the prey mechanism and digestive function of the bladder traps of the Utricularia were not well described﹒ The present study has a great success in these fields which include the volume change of bladder traps before and after firing﹐the spontaneous pressure relief of the bladder traps even without being triggered by prey, and the quadriceps visible absorption process﹒ The last two findings are not yet publicated. This laboratory experiment is carried out with Utricularia Gibba﹐a native species of Utricularia in Taiwan﹒ Through static and dynamic observation﹐we find that bladder traps suck in water by 12-25% of body volume change, and the bladder traps release internal pressure spontaneously under long period of waiting, despite not being triggered﹒ We can also easily demonstrate the absorption process of quadriceps by manually triggering the bladder traps to suck food color solutions. All the events above can be clearly seen under microscopy﹒達爾文是最先對食蟲植物作深入且完整研究的科學家,至今他的著作仍是研究食蟲植物的重要資料,但在其內容中對狸藻捕蟲囊捕蟲行為及消化功能的研究觀察並不完整。本實驗使用簡單的方法,在這方面有突破性的進展,包括捕蟲囊捕食前後的體積變化,自發性舒張及囊內腺毛對於食用色素的消化吸收,後兩項發現及實驗均未曾出現在文獻資料中。 本實驗以台灣本土水生食蟲植物絲葉狸藻(Utricularia gibba)為研究對象,由靜態及動態觀察,顯示捕蟲囊捕食前後體積變化為12~25%,且即使在沒有捕到水中生物的情況下,也會有自發性舒張以解除囊內壓力的現象。捕蟲囊內四爪腺毛消化吸收功能的整個過程,可藉由食用色素加以呈現,並清楚的在顯微鏡下觀察到這些現象。

極速骨牌-骨牌終端速度及鏈鎖反應機制之探討

本研究主要在探討骨牌脈波在傳遞時的速度變化,並比較在不同的骨牌和不同的排列方式下骨牌的終端速度有何種差異;同時也研究骨牌在鏈鎖反應下能量的放大現象。觀察後發現單列骨牌脈波在傳遞一段距離後,由於空氣阻力的影響,脈波將會達到一終端速度,此終端速度與骨牌高度成反比,而與骨牌質量平方成正比。骨牌的脈波傳遞在鏈鎖反應下仍有一終端速度,但大於單列之骨牌脈波速,且鏈鎖反應具有放大推力之功能。由我們的研究可預測一列物體傾倒時所花費時間和所能達到之終端速度,而鏈鎖反應可比擬為一雷射模型能量集中和釋放的機制,相信可利用骨牌儲存能量的機制應用於需迅速釋能的機械中 This research is mainly discussing the changing of velocity of a domino pulse, and comparing the terminal velocity of various kinds of dominos and arresting modules. Also we focus on the energy-enlarging fact of chain-reaction of domino series. We found that after running a distance, the pulse of a single-series domino will finally reach a terminal velocity by the friction force of air. The terminal velocity will inversely proportion to the height of a single domino, and will proportion to the square of mass of a single domino. During a chain-reaction, the pulse still has a terminal velocity, but it is higher than the terminal velocity of a single series domino .The chain-reaction has an ability to enlarge the original force, too. By the research, we are able to predict the time interval and the terminal velocity while a series of objects are falling. On the other hand, the chain reaction is similar with mechanism of energy concentration and emission of LASER. We also believe that this mechanism is able to explain and apply to those machines which need to release energy rapidly.

旋光性介質對電磁波影響的分析與討論

This experiment mainly aims at three kinds of solution - Dextrose, Saccharose, and Fructose. By changing its temperature, density, length of tube, as well as different wave length factor of polarized light, we observe the influence of the direction of polarization by those factors. The experimental result showed as follow. The Dextrose and the Saccharose can cause the polarized light with the rotary direction of clockwise, so both are ‘dextrorotatory’. The Fructose can cause the polarized light with the direction of counterclockwise, so it is the ‘laevorotatory’. For the Dextrose, when the\r temperature is lower than 20℃, the direction of polarization has changed observably, but doesn’t have any rule. When the temperature is higher than 20℃, the direction of polarization increase slowly. For those three kinds of solution, when\r density increased, the polarization increased observably. When the polarized light passed through the solution with longer path, the direction of polarization has more change. When the wave length of the polarized light changed, the direction of polarization has been changed observably. When the wave length of the polarized light is shorter, the direction of polarization change increased.本實驗主要針對葡萄糖、蔗糖、及果糖等三種旋光性溶液,改變其溫度、濃度、容器管長、以及不同波長的偏振光等因子,觀察這些因素對偏振方向所造成的影響。實驗結果顯示:葡萄糖與蔗糖會使得偏振光的偏振方向以順時針旋轉,屬右旋性之光學異構物;果糖會使得偏振光的偏振方向以逆時針旋轉,屬左旋性之光學異構物。若溶液為葡萄糖,當溫度低於20℃時,偏振光的偏振方向會有明顯的改變,但無規則可尋;當溫度大於20℃時,偏振方向旋轉角位移則以非常緩慢的方式增加。當此三種溶液之濃度增加時,偏振光的偏振方向有明顯遞增的現象。此外,當容器長度越長(即偏振光在介質中的行程越長)時,偏振方向的改變亦越明顯。當偏振光的波長改變時,偏振光的偏振方向有明顯的變化,且當偏振光的波長越短,偏振方向的改變越大,似乎與波長呈反比,但此結果與理論值(即旋光度與波長平方成反比)仍有一些差距。

月亮太陽斜斜掛

In this project, we mainly employ the self-made “positioning system for celestial objects” (PSFCO) to investigate the relations among Sun, Moon, and Earth. Based on the observational data, we then construct a three-dimensional (3D) model to further understand the hidden mystery. We first use the PSFCO, which was developed through four generations (see figure 1), to measure the change for a whole year in the North Polar Distance (NPD) of Sun and Moon individually. From the data analysis, we find that: 1. This change in NPD is very close to a sinusoidal function. 2. The date when the NPD of Moon is the largest in a month shifts earlier by 2.26 days every month on average. 3. The angle between the equatorial axis (EA) and the lunar orbital plane (LOP) is about 63.5 degrees, while the angle between the EA and the ecliptic plane (EP) is about 66.5 degrees. 4. The angle between the LOP and the EP is about 5 degrees. This is exactly why the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse do not happen every month. 5. Time for a celestial object to be above the horizon = 1080 minutes – 4 (minute/degree) x NPD of the object. We geographically prove this empirical formula. With this formula and the PSFCO, we can accurately predict the times when an object rises and sets. We finally make a 3D model for Sun, Moon, and Earth. In this process, we confronted and then solved several difficult questions in mathematics and astronomy. This research dramatically enhances our understanding in our local planetary system. 主要利用自製的“天體定位儀”來詳細探討月亮、太陽及地球之間的位置及軌道關 係,並藉由三度空間模型的製作來進一步了解其中的奧妙。 首先利用天體定位儀 (共研發出四代,見圖1) 來量測月亮及太陽各自與北極的夾角 在1 年內的變化,經數據分析發現: 一、這個變化很像sin 函數。 二、月亮與北極的夾角發生極大值的農曆日數,每月平均提早約2.26 日。 三、白道面與赤道軸的夾角約為63.5 度,黃道面與赤道軸的夾角約為66.5 度。 四、白道面與黃道面之間的夾角約為5 度。這正是日蝕及月蝕不常發生的主要原因。 五、天體在地平線上的時間(分) = 1080 分-4(分/度) x 天體與北極夾角(度)。我們用幾 何定理證明了這個觀測到的關係式,且配合天體定位儀可準確預測任何可見天體 升上及落下地平線的時間。 最後製作月亮、太陽及地球的3D 軌道模型。過程中遭遇並解決了各種數學及天文 難題,使我們對這個行星系統有了更深一層的認識。

小小細菌立大功-油類生物復育模式的探討

20 世紀初,石油的量產造就了人類文明前所未有的繁榮,然而由於運送、廢棄處理等因素,使得油類污染成為環境保護的重大議題。本實驗中,我們的研究主題為在受油污染的土壤中純化並鑑定出可分解油類之土壤菌和綠膿桿菌對可分解油類之土壤菌與這群土壤菌彼此之間的交互關係,藉此了解它們間的互動對環境生物復育的影響。我們由受油類污染的行道樹土壤中分離了約12 種的土壤菌,其中我們得到3 種對油類分解效果效果極佳的非綠膿桿菌(暫時命名為P7A、P7C、P7D)。經過菌種鑑定發現P7A、P7C、P7D 均為格蘭氏陽性菌。為了解這群可分解油類之土壤菌間的互動關係,我們針對分解效果最佳的P7A、P7C、P7D 作為研究對象,將菌落接種至含有鹽類與機油的液體培養基中震盪培養,並每隔一定時間測量其O.D 值。結果發現P7A、P7C、P7D 間的互動會導致其在以機油為單一碳源的培養液中之生長速度的改變,因此在行環境生物復育時須注意土壤菌間交互關係對其分解污染物速率的影響。此外我們由受油類污染的行道樹土壤中亦分離出了一些綠膿桿菌,因文獻指出,綠膿桿菌所分泌的綠膿素降低受油污染土壤中土壤微生物相的多樣性;因此,我們將由行道樹土壤中純化出的綠膿桿菌T3 與可分解油類P7A、P7C、P7D 進行交互作用觀察,發現T3 會侵占P7A、P7C、P7D 的既有菌落區,而平板培養基亦可清楚看出和T3 交接的P7A、P7C、P7D 菌落區寬度有明顯降低,因此我們認為T3 可抑制或殺死P7A、P7C、P7D,可得知綠膿桿菌會對可分解油類之土壤菌產生抑制或競爭關係。In early 20th century, the exploitation of petroleum transformed human civilization into a tremendously prosper stage. Because of the transportation and disposition of petroleum, the oil pollution has become a important issue in environmental protection. Besides, Chloropseudomonas spp. which can survive in many different environments and decompose lots of organic compounds. In this study, we want to find the bacteria which can utilize oil from machine oil-contaminated soil, investigating the interaction relations between Chloropseudomonas spp. and these oil-degrading soil bacteria. First, we classified these oil-degrading bacteria by the book called“Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology.”We find three species of oil-degrading bacteria (P7A、 P7C、P7D) which are all grams-positive bacillus, possibly belonged to Aureobactreium、Curtobacterium、Cellulomonas、Oerskovia、Brochothrix、 Caryophanon. Second, in the study of the relationship between Chloropseudomonas spp. and the oil degrading soil bacteria, we found that Chloropseudomonas spp can considerably inhabit the growth of oil-degrading bacteria. Besides, there are also a great variety of interaction between three species of the oil-degrading bacteria. According to the result , the interaction might considerably affect the efficiency of oil bioremediation. Due to our analysis, we suggest that it is necessary to pay more attention to the interaction between bacteria when undertaking oil bioremediation.

形?與形外

在這篇研究報告中,我用了三種觀點來推廣幾何中的反演變換,首先,把反演變換視為是一種圓內與圓外的一種1-1且onto的映射,第一種推廣,是將變換中心移到視圓心以外的圓內的地方,馬上我們得到一個結論「反演半徑會隨著動點而改變」,接著,我們實驗了一下反演變換用有的一些性質,保角性,保圓性,…等在這個變換視中是否依然存在;接著我們用第二種方法來推廣反演變換,我們將邊界的形狀由圓視改成別的形狀(如三角形,四邊形…等等),然後也試試看在這種變換之下是否還擁視有反演變換的一些性質;第三種推廣,則是在研究的過程中,我發現了一種新的幾視變換,承接第一種推廣,我們將原先為定點的變換中心改為動點,將原先的動點改為定點,做出來的一種新變換。In the study, a new geometric Inversive transformation through three points is discovered. Here is the main result:(1)The first, onto cycle of inside and outside can be proved under invasive transformation. It is changed moving the center from center of cycle, we can get a new ” Inversive radius can be changed by moving drop. (2) We hope to find the answer to this problem by experiment, it is exist with the inversive properties. (3) A new geometric transformation is discovered, a fixed drop can be changed moving drop, then the first moving drop shifted the fixed drop. This leads to a new construction if the new transformation.

利用滾動實驗測量摩擦係數

A cylinder rolling on an inclined plane and a sphere on grooved tracks are discussed in details.Using elementary mechanics, the formulas are derived for the time interval (t) and the final speed (vas a function of release height (h). (1) A cylinder is rolling down an inclined plane. The speed and time of the center of mass ofthe cylinder which changed with position (x) are recorded by a motion sensor. We can get theplots of v vs. √x and t vs. √ x, and find that the acceleration of the center of mass of thecylinder is constant, whether the cylinder is in rolling or a combination of rolling and slipping. (2) A sphere is rolling down an inclined grooved track. The final speed at the bottom of thetrack can be calculated from the physics of projection motion after the sphere leaves the track to thefloor. The time t for the sphere starting from rest to the bottom can be recorded by using photogate detectors. From the v-√h and t-1/√h graphs, μs between the sphere and track can be obtained. (3) When a sphere is released from the vertical height h of a cycloidal slide, the time tof pure rolling is the same independent of release position. But, when the sphere moves at a combination of rolling and slipping, the time t' will be different from t. We measure t and t' with photogate detectors and get the plot of t vs. h. The value ofμs can be calculated from the t - h graph. 圓柱或鋼珠從斜面或有槽曲面形成的軌道上滾下時,利用基本力學,可推導出時間 (t) 、速率 (v) 隨高度改變的函數關係。 (1) 利用運動感應器記錄圓柱由斜面上滾下時,圓柱質量中心的速度及運動時間隨位置 (x) 的變化,可繪出 v 對√ x 及 t 對 √x關係圖,由v-√x 及 t-√ x圖可知不論圓柱純滾動或滾動兼滑動,其質心均等加速度運動。 (2) 鋼珠由有槽斜板滾下時,到達底端的速率可由從底端至地面的拋體運動算出,而其時間t則可利用光電計時器直接記錄,利用 v-√h 圖及 t-1/√ h 圖可求出鋼珠和軌道的靜摩擦係數 μs。 (3) 鋼珠從旋輪線上方純滾動至底端時,所經歷的時間 (t) 和釋放高度無關,但是當鋼珠滾動兼滑動時,所經歷時間 t' 會改變,利用光電計時器量出 t 及 t'並作圖,利用 t-h 圖可出 μs。

生活中的碳-探討自製的活性碳之吸附雜質及竹炭屏蔽電磁波效應

有鑑於SARS 期間活性碳口罩因原料均從國外進口,而造成活性碳急需用時的短缺,於是我們的研究是以國內最常見的木材自製成活性碳,並探討活性碳對生活週遭常見物質的吸附能力。我們利用六種不同的木材配合兩種活性化方法來製成不同的十二種活性碳,觀察活性碳對有色溶液的吸附效果,發現不同的活性碳對不同的物質有不同的吸附效果。在定量實驗中,我們採用不同大小、不同性質的物質依次為氯離子、氨分子、葡萄糖分子及三氧化二砷等,用十二種不同的活性碳作吸附效果的比較,發現每種物質都有對其具有最佳吸附能力的活性碳。再利用電子顯微鏡觀察並測出活性碳孔洞的大小,將結果與活性碳對各種物質的吸附能力相對應而得知,【1】活性碳的孔洞大小與物質質點相容性大即得最好的吸附效果【2】雖然木材本身並不帶電,但其中所含的礦物質可能會具有電性,所以在必要情況下亦可將電性列入考慮。同時,在現代化的生活環境中,人們與電磁波的接觸已無可避免;而電磁波因頻率的差異而有不同的特性,因此對於人們的影響也不相同,新聞報導中常出現宣稱竹炭具有遮蔽電磁波的效果。於是我們深入地去探討竹炭對電磁波的影響原因。 在我們實際測量過程中發現,基地台、高壓電塔、行動電話和家庭電器所釋放之電磁波總和均在安全範圍之內。竹炭的燒製溫度須達550℃以上才可在內部形成具有導電性的石墨結構才進一步具有屏蔽效果。 ;During the ravage of SARS, a great amount of activated carbon was imported to Taiwan, leading to the shortage of actived carbon for emergent use in our country. In view of this phenomenon, we investigated six kinds of wood that are most commonon the market and processed them into twleve kinds of actived carbon. We found that different actived carbon has distinct adsorptive power on different substances by observing theadsorption in the colored solutions. In quantitative experiments, we applied substances of different sizes and properties (chlorine ions, ammonium ions, glucose molecules, arsenic(Ⅲ) oxide) to compare the adsorption of these twelve kinds of actived carbon. We found that each substance is adsorbed the most by a certain kind of actived carbon. Then we observed the apertures of actived carbon under stereoelectric microscope and contrast the result with adsorption. We had two following findings: Actived carbon has better adsorption if its apertures fit the adsorbate molecule well in size. Wood itself doesn’t have electric charge. But sometimes the minerals contained would enable it to have electric charge. We have to take the electric charge into consideration in the experiment if necessary. At the same time, in a modern life, the contact between us and electronic waves are not avoidable. Electronic waves with different frequency have varied characteristic and therefore cause dissimilar influences on humans. The news reports keep on showing the charcoal can shield us from electronic waves. Therefore, we want to find the causes why the charcoal affects the electronic waves. During the process of the research, we find that the total of all electronic waves released by electricity tower, mobile phones, household electronics are within the secure spec. The charcoal has to be burned higher than 550℃ and then it can generate the electric conduction graphite structure inside and then it can have the shielding function.
