111 results about "Nanostructure" patented technology

A nanostructure is a structure of intermediate size between microscopic and molecular structures. Nanostructural detail is microstructure at nanoscale. In describing nanostructures, it is necessary to differentiate between the number of dimensions in the volume of an object which are on the nanoscale. Nanotextured surfaces have one dimension on the nanoscale, i.e., only the thickness of the surface of an object is between 0.1 and 100 nm. Nanotubes have two dimensions on the nanoscale, i.e., the diameter of the tube is between 0.1 and 100 nm; its length can be far more. Finally, spherical nanoparticles have three dimensions on the nanoscale, i.e., the particle is between 0.1 and 100 nm in each spatial dimension. The terms nanoparticles and ultrafine particles (UFP) are often used synonymously although UFP can reach into the micrometre range. The term nanostructure is often used when referring to magnetic technology.

Photodegradation-driven high polymer nanomotor and preparation method and application thereof

The application relates to a light-degradation-driven high-molecular nanomotor and a preparation method, and aims to solve the environmental pollution and biological safety problems caused by the degradation difficulty or long cycle of the nanomotor power assembly. The nanomotor has an asymmetric nanostructure and is assembled by a light-degradation high-molecular assembly and a biocompatible high-molecular effective load in a nanometer scale. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1. uniformly mixing a light-degradation high-molecule and a biocompatible high-molecule in an organic solvent to prepare a mixture A; 2. mixing the mixture A and water at a high speed to prepare a mixture B; and 3. removing the organic solvent to prepare the nanomotor. Under light, the light-degradation assembly absorbs light energy to degrade and generate bubbles, which push the nanomotor to move in the solution. The start / stop of the nanomotor is controlled by the on / off of the light source, and the fast / slow movement of the nanomotor is controlled by the strong / weak of the light source. The structure of the light-degradation assembly is gradually degraded and finally completely destructed with the reaction, so that the biological safety and environmental pollution problems of the nanomaterial are relieved.

Based on this, a fault prediction model is constructed. Potential fault risks are assessed by comparing the fault occurrence probability with a preset risk threshold. When a risk occurs, a maintenance priority quantification value is calculated based on the fault occurrence probability, compared with a preset threshold range, and a maintenance decision is generated. Priorities are assigned and maintenance is notified. Through multi-dimensional analysis and precise model construction, the accuracy of electrical joint fault prediction is significantly improved, facilitating the early detection of potential fault risks and making maintenance work more targeted.
