奈米科技材料新發現-氮化鉻

利用陰極電弧蒸鍍各種薄膜,如:類鑽膜(DLC)、氮化鈦膜(TiN)、氮化鉻膜(CrN)、氮化鋁鈦膜(TiAlN)以及先披覆上一層氮化鋁鈦膜(TiAlN)再加上類鑽膜(DLC)的合成膜等。這些薄膜現在已經被廣泛的應用於各種刀具、模具的表面處理之中。本研究主要在探討高速鋼鍍上氮化鉻膜(CrN)之後,對於硬度、磨耗性質的改變,以及觀察氮化鉻膜(CrN)表面結構之組織。 在研究中我們運用陰極電弧蒸鍍系統蒸鍍氮化鉻薄膜,分析上運用SEM來觀察薄膜表面結構組織,以及運用洛氏微硬度機來觀察試片的硬度,另外還有使用磨耗試驗機來進行磨耗測試。以上這些測試總括來說都是在得知性質有無實際上的改變,而這些實際上的改變對於蒸鍍之後的模具或刀具都能夠大幅的提高使用的壽命。 We evaporated different kinds of thin films by using the anode of the electronic arc, such as DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), TiN (Titanium Nitride), CrN (Chromium Nitride), TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride), and synthetic films of covering TiAlN and DLC. These thin films have been used widely in processing the surface of a variety of cutters and moulds. The purposes of this research were to investigate changes of hardness and abrasion and to observe the organization of the surface structure of CrN after High-speed steel evaporates CrN. In this study, we use the system of the anode of electronic arc to evaporate CrN. Besides, SEM is used to observe the organization of the surface structure of the thin films and Rockwell Micro-hardness Test Machine is used to investigate hardness of testing samples. Moreover, we use Abrasion Tester to test abrasion. These tests are taken to lead to a better understanding whether the quality really changed. These changes of evaporated moulds or cutters would extend their frequency of using.

流體碰撞物體所產生的波形之研究及應用

當流體由圓管流下,在碰撞到物體後水流會產生類似駐波的形狀。為瞭解此現象的產生機制,及影響此現象的變因,我們改變流體的表面張力、流速及與碰撞物體間的距離,以探討各變因對波形所產生的影響,進而研究此現象的成因。由實驗結果發現波形會因流速加快、擋板距離增加、表面張力減少而有波長變短的趨勢,且可以用表面張力波的理論解釋。由理論推導的結果,可測量液體表面張力。由於圓球狀的外型使表面積增大,可增加液體之散熱的面積,因此可應用在水冷系統方面。A phenomenon similar to the standing wave, which occurs when a slow-velocity fluid jet collides with an obstacle, was observed. Because the free surface profile was observed to be stable, the phenomenon was not considered as standing wave. To understand the mechanism of this phenomenon and the factors that can affect the free surface profile, the surface tension of the fluid, jet velocity and the distance between the exit of the tube and the obstacle are varied to study their influences on the free surface profile. According to our experiment, the wave length is shortened when the jet velocity or the distance between the tube and the obstacle increases or when the surface tension decreases. The tendency of the investigated phenomenon can be explained by the capillary wave theory. Based on Bernoulli’s principle, continuity principle and surface tension\r equation, an ODE (ordinary differential equation) could be formulated. By using numerical method to solve this ODE, we predict the free surface profile which could match the experimental photo well. The tendency of the phenomenon can also be explained by the ODE. In order to measure the surface tension of the fluid, we wish to minimize the experiment apparatus. To enhance our assumption we use laser to locate the individual particle that we add in the fluid and calculate the velocity field of the flow jet.

緩步門的木乃伊-會蟄伏的熊蟲

The study is to investigate Taiwanese tardigrades,and the research of that is few. Tardigrades are commonly called water bears and have been identified more than 750 species. Limno-terrestrial tardigrades are small, 0.2-0.5 mm in length, and mostly found in moss cushions growing on rocks, soil, or the wall of houses. When the environment dehydrates in dry weather, Tardigrades desiccate into a reversible state of metabolic suspension called cryptobiosis. We have been finding a number of tardigrades in moss at many places in Taoyuan country. First, we put the moss on the dissected microscope to seek for tardigrades, and then placed it on the microscope for photographing and observing. The study is mainly focus on Taiwanese tardigrades. we have classified 11 Taiwanese species in four families(Echiniscidae,Calohypsibiidae,Milnesiidae and Macrobiotidae), making Chinese keys of classification. From the habitat envoriment, the species, the density and the diversity we survey as well as the most suitable pH envoriment we experiment, we approach the relationship between the distribution of tardigrades and their habitat. Besides, we also research lots of conditions which bring cryptobiosis and make culture medium in order to inspect its living. These results indicate that tardigrades desiccate into cryptobiosis in ten munites in acid rain(pH4.65). From outdoor surveys, we have noticed tardigrades can’t be found in the moss right next to road.The length of each family is: Calohypsibiidae>Milnesiidae Milnesium>Macrobiotidae>Echiniscidae. 此研究是探討台灣熊蟲,而有關台灣熊蟲的文獻資料極少。熊蟲屬於緩步門,體長約 0.2-0.5 mm,熊蟲在不利的環境會蟄伏,環境有利時又會膨脹而復甦,而其構造系統不因此而破壞。 我們在桃園縣多處的苔蘚發現熊蟲,我們先將採集的苔蘚放至解剖顯微鏡下尋找熊蟲,再由複式顯微鏡觀察構造並拍照紀錄。研究主要是探討台灣本地的熊蟲,我們已分類出十一種台灣熊蟲,製作中文檢索表。藉由觀測採集環境和所測的密度、歧異度和種類,及實驗出其最適宜的 pH值,探討環境對其分布的影響。也探討各種因素與蟄伏的關係,製作培養基以觀測其生活史。研究結果顯示:1.已經分類出台灣有緩步門四科(端爪科、Calohypsibiidae科、Milnesiidae科和 Macrobiotidae科)十一種熊蟲。2. 污染嚴重或環境髒亂的地方,不會有熊蟲的存在,且熊蟲有群居性。3. 端爪科(棕色)熊蟲在 pH4.65(台灣都會區雨的酸鹼值)以下的液體環境活動力明顯降低。4.熊蟲多分布在高溼度(87.5~90.4%)的地方,不分布在中低溼度 (76%以下) 的地區。5. 各科的體長為 Calohypsibiidae科>Milnesiidae科 Milnesium屬>Macrobiotidae科>端爪科。

「天上掉下來的禮物嗎?」--討論近十年來大陸沙塵暴對台灣之影響與變化趨?

In recent years, sandstorms have seriously attacked Taiwan day by day. Combining with the observations of Central Weather Bureau and the satellite images of NASA, the study has been collected the data of suspension grain in decades. And the study hopes the sandstorms’ information could be observed in early period. Still it hopes to find out the possible transmission paths in the atmosphere. Then we know how to cope with sandstorms in early time. Sandstorms attack Taiwan frequently in alternation of the spring, the autumn, and the winter. Compared with thecharts of sandstorms and the satellite images, we could broadly aware hat the moving paths of sandstorms are related to the currents and the characteristics of the atmosphere. When El Nino happens, the times of sandstorms attacking Taiwan decrease, and that increase when La Lina happens. From the observation data of acid rain, when sandstorms attack Taiwan, acid rain would diminish. Combining actual Measures and satellite data in the future, maybe we can establish a prediction mechanism of sandstorms.近年來,大陸沙塵暴侵襲台灣的情況日趨嚴重影響。本研究中收集了近十年來懸浮顆粒資料,配合中央氣象局所觀測的資料與美國太空總署的衛星影像資料,希望能夠在早期觀測發現大陸地區沙塵暴訊息,和沙塵暴所帶至大氣中的懸浮顆粒可能傳輸的路徑期能早期應映。發生沙塵暴侵臺事件的季節,主要在秋冬及冬春兩季交替期間發生的次數為最多。由沙塵暴監測氣候圖表及美國太空總署的衛星影像進行綜合比對之後,可大致瞭解大陸沙塵可能的移動路徑與大氣環流及特徵有關。聖嬰現象(El Nino)發生時,侵襲臺灣的沙塵暴次數會減少。在「反聖嬰現象」(La Lina)發生時,侵襲臺灣的次數相對增加。由酸雨中得知大陸沙 塵暴侵襲台灣時,酸雨情況會減緩。未來結合實測及衛星資料或許我們可以預報大陸沙塵暴的侵襲。

低溫二次燃料電池

本實驗係以台灣常見之數種植物(甘蔗、橡膠、破布子、苦苓)乾餾所成之多孔性碳棒鍍上銅和拷上Chitin 為電極兼電容,而以NaOH(aq)為電解液,製成化學電池。希望能研究出一低污染、低成本、能在常溫下經濟運作、並具有教學演示功能之電池。This research is based on the poromeric carbons which are made of several Taiwanese common plants (including: sugarcane, babul, Sabastan Plum Cordia [Cordia dichotoma Forst] , and Chinaberry tree [Melia azedadach L.]) by means of destructive distillation. The copperplating poromeric carbons later covered with Chitin functions as an electrode ac well as capacitance. Along with NaOH(aq) eletrolyte, a accumulator is then produced. The chief objective of this research is to produce a accumulator with low class of pollution and low cost, which is able to function economically under the normal atmospheric temperature. Also,this accumulator can serve as a teaching demonstration.

探網取霧-影響捕霧網集水特性之探討與應用

我們好奇影響捕霧網集水過程因素為何?使用超音波霧化器搭配風扇模擬霧氣,在壓克力箱中放置捕霧網進行實驗。秤量製霧箱所消耗的水,配合捕霧網集得的水量,即可得回收率。實驗結果為①三種不同材質網子中,疏水性高的不鏽鋼網回收率較佳。②不同網目單一網孔最短邊長度大於0.5mm時,網目多會增加回收率:24目較16目高出6.7%;網孔過小,會降低回收率,複雜編織的針織遮光網亦相似。③長形的網孔或複雜編織的網子,架設方向會影響集水效果。垂直向長度大於水平向,有利水珠滑落,能提升集水效果,最高可增加約5%。④使用疏水塗料塗佈在垂直向的網線上,間距2.7mm,可提升7.5%的回收率。高集水效能捕霧網具備吸附霧氣多、水珠增長時間短及滑落速度快的特性。

四面體體積平分面的包絡方程探討

剛開始考慮平分物件時,我們從二維的多邊形部分著手,後來發現已經有人做過相關研究,並且得到類似的結論。這個部份顯現出面積平分線與其包絡曲線間的密切關係。我們將其中的方法和結果加以歸納、改善,為了更全面地研究,我們推導出一般性的包絡方程。之後當我們推廣到三維領域時,發現四面體體積平分面與之前的結論有些相似之處,平分的情況卻也更複雜,我們將推導的結果用電腦軟體呈現出來,以便更深入地了解它。最後嘗試了相當抽象的高維積平分,結果仍具有工整的對稱性,讓我們充分領略了數學之美!When considering bisecting a subject, at first we focused our attention on 2-D case, polygons. But afterwards, we found there were already some similar studies conducted by other students, which indicated the close relation between the area-bisecting lines of a polygon and their envelope. We rearranged their methods and results, and then made further improvement. Moreover, in order to study the bisecting problem entirely, we derived the general envelope equation. Then when extending the generalization to the 3-D case, we came to the conclusion that tetrahedrons’ volume-bisecting planes is similar to that in 2-D, but the circumstances are more complex. We tried to show our result with the aid of software, hoping to understand it fully. Finally, we tried to do the case in higher dimension, which is very abstract, and the result was clear-cut symmetrical. During the studying process, we had seen “the beauty of mathematics.”

液態導體的磁效應

本文所探討的議題為電解質溶滿通以電流後所產生的效應與機制。本實驗所採用的方法為電解與電鍍,運用這兩種方法,來比較電解液在不同狀況下所產生的結果;經過多次的實驗,累積了許多實驗結果,使我們可以得到更精確的數據 · 在此次實驗中,我們發現電解液在相同的電壓下,通以電流後的穩定性與金屬的活性有關,活性越大越不穩定;反之,活性越小越穩定。另一個發現為,只有單一極性離子移動的情形,可通過的電流,比陰陽離 r 同時移動時為大;但因通過的電流大使電解液反應劇烈,產物時時覆蓋電極使電流下降。所以就穩定性來說,是以陰陽離子同時移動為佳 · 在展望方面,希望可以發展到液態磁屏避的設備,可減少設備過重之問題 ·This is a study of how electric current effects the electrolyte solution. The experiment was conducted through two methods: electrolysis and electroplating, the results of which were compared. The experiment of the same designs hi been conducted repeatedly and, as a result, accurate data were collected and accumulated.One of the two major findings from the experiments was that, when under the same voltage, stability of the electric current varied with the change of activity of the metals; the greater the activity of the metals, the less stability of the current, and vice versa. The other major finding was that, with the movement of dipole-ion, a greater amount of current would go through the solution than that which would go through with the movement of cathode and anode; however, the greater amount of current would cause intense reaction of electrolyte solution, hence merging the electrode and reducing the current. So as long as stability is concerned, the movement of cathode and anode is preferable.It is hoped that more sophisticated experiments designed on the basis of the similar principles will eventually lead to the construction of equipment of liquid-magnetic shielding of smaller weight and size.

利用雙雷射精密測定準靜物的極微小變位

To-be static objects, such as bridges, volcanoes, seldom move ordinarily but have mini displacement only under special conditions, like flood or earthquakes. Therefore, how to measure their mini displacement has never become fully popular with scientists’ research. Then, beginning with “ Optical Lever Theorem”, through a series of speculation and discussion, I decide to use laser ray as light source to perform an experiment ------- trying to find objects with mini displacement in our daily lives, such as revolving electric fans, engine-opening motorcycles, shaken trees, testing their magnifying effect first. Next, I try to use the control-experiment method to find out the magnifying relation and formula of the rotation angle of the plane mirror and the displacement quantity of light focus. As to the measure of mini displacement on objects, I utilize the pillar mirror as a reflection plane to research the magnifying relation of reflection light focus and original displacement quantity. The image made from the light focus of pillar mirror’s reflection, however, isn’t so perfect that I have to use a special plastic-made light-concentrating mirror, which is also called “ Fresnel Lens ”, to focalize the light for easy observation. Besides, I find out the “ function graph ” of the mini displacement quantity on to-be static objects and the displacement quantity of reflection light focus. At last, I try to build up a “ Bridge Alarm System ” of Optical Lever Theorem. 準靜物如橋樑、火山,由於平常不輕易移動,只有在特殊情況下(如洪水、地震)時,才會發生位移的現象。因此,其微小變位如何測量,一向是科學界較少探討的題目。於是,先由光學槓桿原理著手,經過一番思考、探討,決定採用雷射光作為光源,並作了第一個實驗--找生活中具極微小變位的東西,如轉動中的電扇、引擎發動的摩托車、被搖動的樹木等,先測試其放大效果。接著就試圖用控制變因的方法,找出平面鏡旋轉角度和光點平移量的放大關係和公式。至於物體微小的平移量之測量,則是利用柱面鏡作為反射面,來探討反射光點的位移與本來的平移量之放大關係。然而,柱面鏡的反射光點成像並不理想,於是用一種特製的塑膠集光鏡,又稱Fresnel Lens,將光點集中以利觀測,並且找出準靜物之微小平移量及反射光點的位移量的函數圖形。最後,嘗試建立一套光學槓桿式的「橋樑預警系統」。
