By iterative calculation, the optimum AFM scanning of cell can be accomplished at setpoint of 0.61 V, scanning rate of 2.23 Hz and proportional gain of 3.85. Satisfactory surface morphology images of human bronchial epithelium BEAS-2B and pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell A549 were acquired at this calculated scanning condition, in which the details of surface coarse particle and cell junction structure are visible.

For using carbon fibre reinforced plastics, the cutting and drilling process is necessary, and the study of optimal cutting conditions is very necessary, too. Generally, CFRP needs the processes of lathe turning, drilling, milling and cutting after moulding. However, these processes cause such problems as sudden abrasion of the tools, heavy surface roughness and defective layer by crack and delamination. Therefore, the study to examine the conditions for the high precision products by minimising these problems is very important. In this study, a sample was made with a CFRP plate to take a drilling test under a set condition with a high speed steel drill.

The result shows that compressive residual stress is induced by laser peening. The compressive residual stress is 35.55 MPa, 46 MPa and 72 MPa, respectively, when the laser energy is 2 J, 5 J and 8 J. Meanwhile, laser peening refines the grain size, and the surface microhardness reveals that laser peening suppress the increase of microhardness caused by hydrogen atoms. Compared with unimpacted specimens, the amount of hydrogen attacked holes on impacted samples is decreased. The X-ray diffraction reveals that hydrogen charging is responsible for the martensite formed on the surface and the laser peening suppress the formation of martensite.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":"13 1","pages":"257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47049224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wet electrodes have certain drawbacks like the gel tends to underperform within one to two hours after application due to reasons like body heat. To overcome this drawbacks, dry electrodes are being developed which can be classified into two types; one penetrating skin and the other not. Both this type of electrodes has the advantages and limitations. The major drawback of filament type non-penetrating dry electrodes is that if the interest is in acquiring signals during motion, these electrodes tend to move relative to the skin resulting in noisy signal where as the microneedle can overcome this drawback by being continuously in contact with skin in all circumstances. In present work we have used micromachining technique to fabricate PMMA microneedle array. The study involves design of microneedle array, fabrication and mechanical testing of microneedles for skin insertion. It was found that for skin insertion upto 150 μm microneedles 7.5 N load was required and microneedles were structurally stable at this load.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":"13 1","pages":"221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41779335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the grinding theory is introduced and the relationships among the depth of cutting, the depth of subsurface cracks and the load of single particle are analysed. Then the influence of different process parameters on the surface quality of Si was investigated by some process experiments. Based on the result of process experiments, the processing of a 195 mm-diameter parabolic mirror of Si was carried out.
