防鏽小尖兵(分子自組薄膜的探索)
自組薄膜(SAMs, self-assembled monolayers)乃是具有特定官能基的化合物在不需外力作用 下自動吸附到基質表面上而自行排列成有自序規則之結構。SAMs技術因製備容易且穩定,在 應用上深具潛力。目前此方法中,以硫醇接在Au上的研究最為廣泛。本作品希望藉著SAMs 方法將硫醇分子吸附於鐵片或其他金屬表面上,以達成防鏽與抗酸目的。我們分別透過接觸 角量測研究正十二硫醇在鐵片上形成分子薄膜的可能性;利用酸與金屬產生氣體的速率研究 分子薄膜抗酸蝕的情況;測試分子薄膜的耐熱性;根據鐵片生銹時pH值變化、重量變化與[Fe2+] 含量差異來探究分子薄膜能否防鏽;最後找出適合形成分子薄膜的濃度與溫度效應。由實驗 結果我們發現SAMs薄膜確實能吸附於鐵(及鎳、銅、鋅等金屬)的表面上並增加抗酸與防鏽蝕 能力,薄膜對熱的穩定性極佳,35℃時結合效果較佳,而濃度的提高有助於SAMs的效用。 Self-assembled monolayers(SAMs) are elements which have specific functions.SAMs,ordered molecular aggregates can automatically adhere to the surface of substrate without any force.The applcation of SAMs’technique has high potential not only because ther are easy to make but also because they are stable.Exposing molecules such as alkyl thiols to an Au(0) surface is now in widespread use. In this work,we apply the thiols chemisorb onto the Fe or other metal surface to make it rust-resistant and acid-resistant.We study the following issues to find the appropriate conditions of forming monolayers in varying concentration and temperture: I. The possibility of forming n-dodecanthiol molecular monolayers on Fe surface by measuring the contact angles. II. The ability of antiacid corrodibility by comparing the rates of producing gas from acid and metal. III. The heat-resistant of molecular monolayers. IV. Whether it’s antirust by detecting the changes of pH,weight,and the concentrations of Fe2+ during the iron rust. According to the results,we conclude SAMs do adhere to the surface of Fe(and other matal like Ni,Cu,Zn), which increases the ability of antiacid and antirust.Besides they are stable to heat, have good combining effect at 35℃, and it is beneficial to the effect of SAMs through raising their concentration.

本研究是藉由數學手法探討;如何由一疊 36 張四種花色的撲克牌中,尋找出保證可猜中最多張花色的方法。研究過程是以在適當的猜牌時機,以邏輯推理、二進位、分析與歸納 … … 等數學原理與方法,搭配巧妙的策略運用而達到目的。 猜牌方法:先約定好猜牌規則,助手將 36 張牌背圖樣相同但非對稱的撲克牌,以旋轉牌背的方向傳達訊息。在本研究中得出「經由巧妙的猜牌方法保證可以猜中不少於 26 張花色」,並得出「當總張數趨近於無窮大時,保證可以猜中不少於 81 . 07 %的牌,並且證出若僅使用獨立的訊息猜牌,無論任何猜牌方法皆無法猜中多於 87 . 37 %的牌」 · 其中一個猜中多於 80 %的例子是‘「當總張數等於 23006 張時,保證可以猜中不少於 1 8405 張牌(18405/23006 > 4/5)」 ·The study is mathematically based with reasonable explanations behind it. We are to correctly guess as many cards as possible from a deck of 36 cards, with random numbers and four different suits. We will apply mathematical methods, such as logic inference, binary system, and analytical reduction, upon right timing. Using careful arrangement of the principles and reasoning, we can reach our ultimate goal. To state guessing: Conference between the guesser and the assistant about the guessing rules, the assistant will have 36 cards with the same exact pattern on the back but not symmetrical. The pattern of the cards will be different when rotated 180o. The only communication between the two is by rotating cards. In this study, we can prove that through mathematical method, we can assure 26 or more cards can be correctly guessed. Furthermore, when the total amount of cards is close to infinity, we can assure 81.07% or more of the cards can be correctly guessed, and prove that if the cards are guessed from independent information, no more than 87.37% of the cards will be correctly guessed by any guessing methods. One of the examples, which 80% of the cards are correctly guessed, is that when the amount of the cards is 23006, 18405 or more of the cards can be correctly guessed. (18405/23006 > 4/5)
挑戰溶液的電中性~「帶電溶液的研究」
利用范式起電器將靜電導入蒸餾水、甘油、苯、環己烷、乙醇、正丙醇、正戊醇,以及HCl(aq)、NaCl(aq)、CuSO4(aq)……等不同溶液中,我們發現:非電解質溶液可以藉由極性分子的媒合作用"貯存”電子,而其中H2O效果最好,即水合電子是可以穩定存在的!但在水中若添加HCl、NaCl等電解質會提高容易導電性,以致於無貯存電子的效果。我們也發現苯雖不是極性分子,但因具有π共振系統,也能有效貯存電子。另外,從引入密度泛函數理論結合類導體可極化連續模型加以計算的結果,也能發現極性分子容易的溶劑電子親核能比非極性分子容易來的大,與實驗結果吻合。By using a Van de Graff Generator to put electrons into various solutions or solvents (such as water, alcohol, benzene, propyl alcohol, solutions of sodium chloride, etc.), we find out that nonelectrolytes can "store" electrons through hydration of polar molecules. And water has the best ability of keeping electrons among others. In other words, hydrated electrons can exist stably. However, if we add electrolyte into solvent, the solution won't store electrons because of its increasing electric conductivity. The experiment also shows that benzene can keep electrons though it is a nonpolar molecules. We infer that it is the " π resonance system " which contributes to its high ability of electron storage. In addition, by introducing the calculations of CPCM (Conductor-Like Polarizable Continuum Model), we find out that the electron affinity of polar solutions are stronger than those of nonpolar solutions. The computed results are in agreement with our experiment.
分子篩與過氧化氫感測器
目前市面上缺乏簡單而精準的過氧化氫檢測法,我們參考Fenton Reaction 中,鐵離子對過氧化氫分解的催化模式,利用鐵、鈷、鎳、錳、鋅分子篩,測試他們催化過氧化氫分解反應的效率,從成本、毒性、活化能的多方考量下,選擇以分子篩來固定金屬催化離子,作為我們後續實驗的研究主軸。實驗的初步,我們選擇過氧化氫作為自由基,並著重於過氧化氫的分解反應。利用濃差電池的原理,設計出一套濃度檢測系統,由分子篩作為電極。鑒於粉末狀的分子篩容易流失,我們製備出陶土鐵分子篩,以陶土固定分子篩,並以此作為電極,搭配白金絲,透過能士特方程式,測出過氧化氫的濃度,且藉由電路調控放大倍率,可以直接控制檢測範圍。從實驗結果得知,鐵分子篩在處理過氧化氫的時候,不會有鐵離子溶出的現象,且其催化性在酸性液中可以維持,能不斷的使用,長時間來看,分子篩相當有經濟與環境保護上的價值。We attempted to provide a system for quickly determining the concentration of free radicals. The existing methods or techniques are inefficient or need expensive equipment, therefore, an inexpensive system is being sought for. As a preliminary study, we focused on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Taking the Fenton reaction as reference, we designed a measuring system. This system includes a catalyst containing Fe or Pt ions for catalyzing hydrogen peroxide decomposition reaction. The Fe- and Pt-zeolite were prepared to hold Fe and Pt ions to avoid losing. Because the electrically induced potential would decrease with the decrease in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, we could measure the concentration of hydrogen peroxide by monitoring the electrical potential. We determined the initial concentration of hydrogen peroxide in water from the initial electrical potential measured through the equation obtained from the calibration line. The practicability of this system has been assured after a series of experiments. We will further develop the technique for measuring other free radicals. We anticipate that this technique will be further developed for measuring other free radicals. Although there are several problems and limitations to be solved and conquered, one thing is for sure: this system is an environment-friendly and cost-effective facility for determining the concentration of free radicals in an aqueous solution.
人面蜘蛛藉調整絲基因表現及網結構促進捕食效率
前人研究顯示結網性蜘蛛會因環境中獵物組成的改變而改變其網結構。然而,除了結構之外,構成網的絲的物理性質與蜘蛛網的捕捉效率也應有密切之關連,但目前並無人探討蜘蛛是否會因獵物而調整絲之化學及物理性質。在本研究中,我以人面蜘蛛為材料,探討:(一)其在面對不同類型之獵物時是否調整其網之結構,絲之胺基酸組成和其物理性質;(二)所產生之改變是否能促進不同類型獵物的捕食效率;以及(三)是獵物之養份或振動刺激引起這些改變。我藉著操控獵物的養份及振動刺激將人面蜘蛛分成四個處理組,分別餵以活蟋蟀(C 組),活蒼蠅(F 組),死蟋蟀加蒼蠅振動刺激(Cd 組)及死蒼蠅加蟋蟀振動刺激(Fd 組)。在完成食控處理後比較各組間之網結構、絲胺基酸組成、絲物理性質、對不同獵物之留置能力以及振動訊號傳遞能力。實驗結果顯示F 組之蜘蛛所結之網有較大的面積及較小的網目,並有較佳之蒼蠅留置力;然而此結構之改變卻會降低其振動訊號傳遞率。C 組之蜘蛛所結之網有較強之張力及較佳之蟋蟀留置力,而且其所產之曳絲有較高比例之alanine、glycine 及glutamine 並較佳之延伸度及韌度,以因應體型較大之獵物。上述結果顯示人面蜘蛛能調整網的結構、絲的蛋白質組成及物理性質來更有效率的捕捉不同類型的獵物。而由於上述各樣變數在C 及F 組間有顯著差異,而在獵物養份與振動訊號錯置的Cd 與Fd 組間無顯著差異,顯示此二項刺激需同時存在才能使人面蜘蛛在面對不同類型獵物時產生結網行為及絲基因表現之改變。Previous studies showed that orb-weaving spiders may adjust web structures when encountering different types of prey. In addition to web structures, silk physical properties should also be critical in affecting the prey catching efficiency of webs. However, so far no one has studied whether spiders adjust silk chemical and physical properties when encountering different types of prey. In this study, I used the giant wood spider Nephila pilipes to investigate (1) would N. pilipes adjust web structures, silk amino acid composition and silk physical properties when encountering different types of prey (2) would such changes enhance the catching efficiency of different prey and (3) were such changes generated by prey chemical composition or vibration signals? To answer these questions, I manipulated prey chemical composition and vibration signals by assigning N. pilipes into the following four feeding groups: (1) living crickets (group C), (2) living flies (group F), (3) dead cricket but with fly vibration signals (group Cd) and (4) dead flies but with cricket vibration signals (group Fd). After the feeding treatments were completed the following variables were compared between the feeding groups: web structures, silk amino acid composition, silk physical properties, retention time of different prey and vibration signal transmission rate of webs. The results showed that the webs built by spiders fed with living flies exhibited larger area, smaller mesh and longer fly retention time. However, such structural changes also reduced the vibration signal transmission ability of the web. On the other hand, webs built by spiders fed with living crickets were stiffer and retained crickets longer. Moreover, their silks exhibited higher percentages of alanine, glycine, glutamine and consequently higher elasticity and strength to cope with the larger prey. These results demonstrated that spiders can adjust web structures, silk protein composition and silk physical properties to enhance the catching efficiency of different prey. While the aforementioned variables differed significantly between spiders in C and F groups, they did not vary between spiders in Cd and Fd groups, in which groups the prey chemical composition and vibration signals were decoupled. Such result suggested that prey chemical composition and vibration signal were both needed in generating changes in web building behavior and silk gene expression in spiders.
全民攻笛
本實驗主要是研究閉管駐波的發聲原理。何謂「閉管駐波」?就是一個管子在相同長度下,用不同的力道吹,會有不同音高的聲音產生,這些音被稱為「諧音」。原管長所能發出的最低頻率稱作「第一諧音」,第二低的聲音稱作「第三諧音」,依此類推。在簫的演奏上,只要按住同樣的孔,用較大的力量吹,也同樣會發出較高的音;同樣地,在曲笛的演奏技巧上,有平吹、急吹等分別。為什麼吹越用力,音就越高呢?如果現在拿一個大吸管吹(要裝活塞),你會發現,只有在特定的位置(角度)下,才能吹出聲音。那麼,角度對於聲音也有影囉?這些現象的幕後黑手,就是在管口產生的「渦流」,渦流頻率也會隨著風速而增加;而且,渦流的頻率在特定風速下,會有特定的範圍。經由實驗可以大略歸納出,影響閉管駐波的三個主要變因,分別是「風速」、「風吹角度」、及「吹口至管口的距離」。吹得越急,風速就越快,渦流頻率越高,越易使諧音躍遷;吹的角度越小,越易產生渦流,亦易引發聲音;吹的距離越小,渦流越不?定,越易產生其他的擾動。以上就是本實驗的概略。This project is aimed to fine out how the closed tube can produce a sound. We know what harmonics are. When we hold a big straw and blow with increasing strength (the bottom should be in water), it will generate a higher sound. The high sound is called “harmonic”. The lowest sound it can make is “the first harmonic”, the second lowest sound is “the third harmonic”, and so forth. Likewise, when we press the same key on vertical bamboo flute with increasing strength, it’ll also produce a higher sound. But why do we use the strong air stream to blow the tube to cause the tone to transfer? Now let’s blow a straw flute. You will find that you need to blow in the particular position, and then the sound will be produced. So, is there any relationship between the blowing angle and the frequency? Actually, all these sound are produced by “vortex in the mouthpiece.” The frequency of vortex will increase with the wind speed. Moreover, the frequency of vortex has a range. In sum, the higher the wind speed is , the higher the frequency of the vortex is , and leads to the higher frequency of the sound. The smaller the blowing angle is, the easier the vortex will be produced; the easier the frequency will be made. The smaller the distance between the blowing angle and the frequency is, the more unstable the frequency will be. The above is the most important research in this project.
磁性流体薄膜在水平磁場下結構型態之研究
本研究探討不同的控制變因,對磁性流體薄膜在水平磁場下有序結構的影響。我們發現,外加水平磁場於磁流體薄膜時,會形成一維有序磁鍊排列,磁鍊間距除會隨著磁場增強而變小外,另外其條件值如磁場強度、流體濃度、磁增率、薄膜寬度及厚度等也影響磁鍊間距。其中磁增率及磁流體濃度增加會使磁鍊間距變小,而凹槽寬度及薄膜厚度增加會使磁鍊間距變大等現象。至於其形成磁鍊的物理作用,我們假設薄膜有三種能量交互作用,即(1)磁鍊與外加磁場間的磁能UdH。(2)兩條同方向磁化的磁鍊間相互排斥所造成的磁能Udd。(3)熱能Uther等。藉由系統能量Udh+Udd+Uther最小化,我們導出了磁鍊間距和外加磁場之間理論上的關係,並比較實驗結果確實具有相當的一致性。因這些有序結構會引發許多的光學性質,將來這些特殊的光學性質預料應可製成可調式光柵、光開關及顯示器等光電元件,使磁流體在奈米世界及光電領域裡扮演重要角色。We investigate experimentally the structure of the magnetic chains formed in the magnetic fluid thin film under the influence of the external magnetic field parallel to the film surface. A one-dimensional ordered structure forced by magnetic chains can be obtain in the magnetic fluid film. It is worth noting that the ordered structure can be manipulated by changing the control parameters such as the magnetic field, concentration of magnetic fluid, the thickness of the film, the width of the film, and the dH/dt. On the other hand, the physical mechanism of forming the ordered structure can be also studied theoretically. These magnetic chains are regarded as magnetic dipoles and three possible interactions are condisered for the energy of the system: the attracting potential energy between the magnetic chain and H(denoted by UdH),the repulsive potential energy between two magnetic chains with parallel magnetizations(denoted by Udd), and the thermal energy Uther. The relationship between the chain distance △x and the applied magnetic field H was derived by minimizing the total energy of the system with respect to the chain distance. The experimental data is consistent with the theoretical results.
