Example 24

A pigment pre-mixture, which comprises H-1/TiO2 (available as TiPureR960, from DuPont)/methyl-isobutyl-ketone (MIBK)=10:50:40 by weight, was prepared. Said acrylic resin compound was mixed with the paint shaker (ARE250, provided by Thinky) for 10 minutes. The ratio of Hard Polymer1, Soft Polymer1 and the TiO2 was 100:100:50 by weight. The compatibility of said polymers and pigment was judged as “Good”.

Said polymer solution was coated onto 50 μm release polyester film with a knife coater. Then said coated layer was dried and cross-linked for 3 minutes at 95 degree C. and for 2 minutes at 155° C. After drying, 50 μm acrylic film layer was obtained. Then said white film was laminated with same adhesive as Example 22.

Fabrication of PDMS Microfluidic Devices

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We weight approximately 60 g of 5:1 RTV 615 and 21 g of 20:1 RTV 615. We use a Thinky ARE-250 mixer 2000 RPM mixing and 2 min at 2000 RPM degassing. We make an aluminum foil dish for the wafer. We pour the 5:1 PDMS onto the fluid layer and degas one last time to remove bubbles in the photoresist for approximately 10 min. We then spin coat the 20:1 PDMS at 2000 RPM for 30 seconds. The 5:1 layer is baked for 1 hour at 80°C and the spin-coated layer is baked for 40 minutes at 80°C. The thick layer is cooled off and cut into pieces and holes are punched (0.5mm puncher for the flow inlets and 1.25mm for the root inlets). Scotch tape is then applied to remove particles, and the pieces are aligned by hand under the stereomicroscope. An additional 2 hours of bonding is done at 80°C in the oven. The pieces are then cut out and the final holes for the control valves are punched out (0.5 mm puncher). Scotch tape is applied. Glass slides are prepared by sonication briefly in isopropanol. The devices are plasma bonded using 1 min medium power in a Harrick plasma cleaner (pdc-02). After sealing, the devices they are baked at 100°C for 1 hour on a hotplate and then placed back in the oven overnight at 80°C and then are ready to go and solidly bonded.

Carbonization of TOCNF-LCNF Composites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Aqueous
suspensions of TOCNF of a given composition (0, 5, 13, 20, 33, and
100% TOCNF, based on total dry mass) was added to 50 g of 6.1% LCNF.
The mixed dopes were stirred (3 min at 2000 rpm) and degassed (3 min
at 2500 rpm) via a planetary centrifugal mixer (THINKY ARE-250). The
prepared suspensions or dopes were loaded into a 50 mL plastic syringe
connected with a plastic tube (44.5 cm in length and 6 mm in inner
diameter) that ended in a needle with an inner diameter of 1.2 mm
and a length of 3.7 cm. The latter was immersed in a coagulation bath
(acetone) during spinning at a fixed rate of 10 mL min–1. After approximately 1 min, filaments were collected from the acetone
antisolvent and dried under tension under room temperature (23 °C)
conditions. The wet-spun microfibers contained the given TOCNF amount,
therein referred to as LCNF, L/T5, L/T13, L/T20, L/T33, and TOCNF,
respectively. The wet-spun microfibers were carbonized in a tubular
furnace (NBD-O1200–50IC Vacuum Tube, Furnace) at 900 °C
for 60 min operated at a heating rate of 2 °C min–1 under a N2 flux. After carbonization, carbon microfibers
were obtained and named following the same nomenclature as before
but adding a subscript, the letter “c” standing for
carbonization, namely, LCNFc, L/T5c, L/T13c, L/T20c, L/T33c, and TOCNFc.
The carbonization yield was calculated from the mass before and after
carbonization.

Fabrication of Ag-PDMS Composites

To fabricate the Ag-PDMS composites, the PDMS prepolymer (Sylgard 184) and silver powder, 2–3.5 micron, 99.9+% (Sigma Aldrich) were first dispersed by hand using a spatula and then mixed in a planetary mixer (Thinky ARE-250) for 3 minutes at 2000 rpm and degassed for 1 minute at 2200 rpm. Next, PDMS curing agent was added (respecting a 10:1 ratio between the prepolymer and curing agent) and incorporated into the mixture by stirring manually before mixing again for 1.5 minute at 2000 rpm and degassing for 30 seconds at 2200 rpm. The viscous paste that was obtained was then stored in a freezer at −24°C until usage. Prior to usage, the paste was manually stirred with a spatula and mixed for 1 minute at 2000 rpm and degassed for 30 seconds at 2200 rpm.

The compliant electrodes were manufactured by mask-spraying with an airbrush a PDMS-carbon black composite ink. The ink was obtained by mixing in a high speed planetary mixer (ARE250, Thinky, USA) a PDMS silicone pre-polymer (MED4910, Nusil, USA) with 9 wt% of carbon black (Black Pearls 2000, Cabot, USA) and solvents (isopropanol, isooctane).

Robocasting Ink Preparation Using Pluronic F-127

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hydrogels containing 33 wt.% Pluronic F-127 in deionized water were chosen as processing media for the preparation of the robocasting inks. Two different volumes were prepared at a time: 5 mL and 10 mL stock solutions. Zirconia balls were added to both solutions to aid in the mixing process: 3 balls with a 5 mm diameter to the 5 mL stock, 6 balls with 5 mm, and an additional 3 balls with 10 mm diameter to the 10 mL stock solution. Pastes were produced by adding the powders to the Pluronic F-127 hydrogels and mixing in a planetary centrifugal mixer (ARE-250, Thinky Corp., Tokyo, Japan) at different RPM, resulting in homogenized inks.

CS and β-TCP with particle sizes less than 38 μm were purchased from Kunshan Chinese Technology New Materials Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). β-TCP powders doped with 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% CS (wt.%) were prepared in batches of 5 g, and mixed at 1,500 rpm for 30 min using a hybrid defoaming mixer (ARE-250, Thinky, Japan) as described previously7 (link). Injectable powders for printing were prepared by combining 5 g of mixed powder with 3 g of polyvinyl alcohol solution (6 wt.%). Square scaffolds (7 mm × 7 mm × 3.5 mm) with interconnected 500 μm square channels were designed in CAD, allowing for approximately 30% shrinkage7 (link), 39 (link). The scaffolds were 3D-printed (Dresden, Germany) as described previously, dried at room temperature for 24 h, and sintered at 1,100 °C for 2 h6 (link). The scaffolds obtained (5 mm × 5 mm × 2.5 mm) were sterilized using ethylene oxide17 (link), 46 (link), and halves (5 mm × 2.5 mm × 2.5 mm) were used in transwell and animal experiments.

Next, 16 g of the prepared resorcinol-formaldehyde oligomer was dissolved in 80 g of NMP using a high shear force mixer (Thinky ARE-250, Tokyo, Japan) at 1600 rpm for 30 min. The mixing cycle was repeated twice; between cycles, mixing was stopped for 15 min to prevent the solution from overheating. Next, 2.8 g of formaldehyde was introduced to the solution and mixed at 2000 rpm for 10 min. Then, 0.1 g of KOH was added and the solution mixed for 30 min at 1600 rpm. Finally, the whole solution was defoamed via the Thinky mixer for 30 min at 2000 rpm to remove any bubble.

White-coloured ProRoot MTA (Dentsply, Tulsa, OK, USA) and CS (composition: 65% CaO, 25% SiO2, 5% Al2O3 and 5% ZnO) cements8 (link) were used in present study. In brief, appropriate amounts of as-received SiO2, CaO, Al2O3 and ZnO powders were mixed at 1 000 r⋅min−1 for 10 min using a hybrid-defoaming mixer (ARE-250; Thinky, Tokyo, Japan). The oxide mixtures were then sintered at 1 400 °C for 2 h using a high-temperature furnace. The sintered granules were then ball-milled in ethyl alcohol using a centrifugal ball mill (S 100; Retsch, Hann, Germany) for 6 h. The CS powder (0.6 g) was mixed using a liquid/powder ratio of 0.35 mL⋅g−1. After mixing, the cement fully covered each well of the 24-well plate (GeneDireX, Las Vegas, NV, USA) to a thickness of 2 mm, and the plate was stored in an incubator at 100% relative humidity and 37 °C for 1 day of hydration. According to the MTA manufacturer's instructions, a liquid/powder ratio of 0.3 mL⋅g−1 was used to mix the cement. Before the experiments, all specimens were sterilised via soaking in a 75% ethanol solution and exposure to ultraviolet light for 1 h.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
