Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of intelligent material preparation, and in particular relates to an ultrasonic defoaming device for a sodium alginate / carboxymethyl cellulose actuating membrane for artificial muscles. Background Art

[0002] Sodium alginate is a natural high molecular polymer extracted from seaweed. It is non-toxic, tasteless, odorless and colorless. It also has excellent gelling, thickening and bonding properties. This makes sodium alginate widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, lubricants and other industries. In addition, sodium alginate is a natural polysaccharide with strong hydrophilicity and good biocompatibility and biodegradability. These characteristics make it have potential application value in the biomedical field.

[0003] Ultrasonic defoaming is an important step in the preparation of sodium alginate / carboxymethyl cellulose actuated membrane. Ultrasonic defoaming is a technique that uses ultrasonic waves to eliminate foam. In the process of preparing sodium alginate / carboxymethyl cellulose actuated membrane, bubbles in the solution may affect the quality and performance of the membrane. Therefore, it is necessary to use ultrasonic defoaming to effectively remove bubbles in the solution. When ultrasonic waves propagate in the liquid, they will produce strong vibrations and microjets, which can break the foam in the liquid and quickly rise to the liquid surface. In this way, ultrasonic waves can effectively remove foam in the liquid and improve the quality and stability of the liquid. In addition, the ultrasonic defoaming method also has the advantages of high energy efficiency, simple operation, and environmental protection.
