  • A polymer stabilization method is employed to reduce the transition time from field-induced homeotropic(H) state to reflecting planar(P) state in the cholesteric liquid crystal(ChLC) display. To stabilize ChLC by polymer, we mixed ChLC with diacrylate of 2 $wt%{\sim}6$ wt%. Two samples were made with different method of stabilization. For one sample the diacrylate of 2 wt% was polymerized with the ChLC in P state, while for the other sample diacrylate of 16 wt% was polymerized with ChLC in H state. In the former case, the transition time was 1000 times faster then those in the pure sample. In the latter sample, the transition time was 1700 times faster than those in pure ChLC sample.

  • Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer(LCP) has been used for the alignment of ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) molecules and the surface morphology of the resulting polymeric thin film has been observed by atomic forced microscope. The uniform alignment of FLC molecules on the surface of thermotropic LCP thin film was obtained even though microgroove structures were not formed. The contrast ratio of sample cell was about 23:1 including two polarizers and a good memory capability due to the bistability of FLC was obtained. After AC field stabilization at 20V, the typical stripe-shaped patterns appeared.

  • The present paper reports the comparative optical behavior of a pure nematic mixture E-24 and its anthraquinone dye doped sample. The variation in the ordinary and extraordinary refractive index ($n_o$, $n_e$) of the pure and dye doped samples with temperature has been discussed and it has been found that doped sample have a less refractive index compared to the pure sample. The variation in the order parameter for pure and doped samples with temperature has been discussed and it has been seen that the doped sample has a higher order parameter; the possible reasons have been discussed. The variations in birefringence and optical transmittance have also been presented here.

  • To study on the superconducting properties with cooling conditions, silver-sheathed Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O wires fabricated by the powder-in-tube method. The wires cooled down in the furnace, air and liquid NS12T after sintering at 840$^{\circ}C$ Critical current density of sample cooled in the furnace is 5.1${\times}$10S03TA/cmS02T and sample cooled in the air is 40A/cmS02T at 77K, zero magnetic field. The latter is very low critical current density of Bi system. 2223 high-Tc superconducting phase of sample cooled in the air was distroyed. Properties of sample cooled down in the liquid nitrogen is the same as cooled in the furnace.

  • A multisample extraction device was newly designed for efficient extraction of dissolved lipophillic organic compounds from sea water sample. This device allowed extraction of organic compounds from up to 96 sample at a time using 96 multifolder on the principle of solid phase extraction with commercially available octadecyl silane (ODS) cartridges. The recovery yield of the new divice was higher than 90 % while that of conventional liquid-liquid extraction process are only 60 - 70 %. The amount of solvent required for the new device could be reduced to less than 20㎖ per 1ℓ of sample while 1 - 2 ℓ of solvent were used in the conventional liquid-liquid extraction process. The usefulness of this novel method was demonstrated with sea water samples collected from Yellow sea, and the qualitative and quantitative analyses results of the dissolved hydrocarbon showed this method was superior to that of conventional liquid-liquid extraction process in efficiency and reliability.

  • In this study, a multichannel gas-liquid microextraction system is designed by integrating the automatic elution of extraction line and multichannel gas-purging liquid phase microextraction. The system uses an injection pump and inert gas to push the extraction solvent to a sample bottle of a gas-phase color autosampler and then implements multichannel gas-liquid microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The system also employs a three-way integrated micro-high-temperature heater, syringe pump, and microflow controller to realize the simultaneous processing of multiple groups of samples, thus improving the sample pretreatment speed and reproducibility and reducing human error. Autoinjection experiments were implemented with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon standard samples. The experiments show that the average recovery rate of the system exceeds 70%, and the relative standard among the channels is less than 15%.

  • Laser micromachining is a promising technique to fabricate the micro-scale devices. However, there remains important challenges to reducethe redeposition of ablated materials around the laser irradiated zone and to get a smooth surface, especially for metal and semiconductor materials. To achieve the high-quality micromachined devices, various methods have been developed. Liquid-assisted micromachining can be a good solution to overcome the previously mentioned problems. During the laser ablation process, the liquid around the solid sample dramatically changes the ablation characteristics, such as ablation rate, surface profile, formation of debris, and so on. In this investigation, we conducted the laser micromachining of Si in various liquid environmental conditions, such as liquid types, liquid thickness. In addition, using nanoscale time-resolved shadowgraphy technique, we observed the ablation process in liquid environments to understand the mechanism of liquid-assisted laser micromachining.

  • Objective: To make the clinical evaluation of a solid-state human papillomavirus (HPV) sampling medium in combination with an economical HPV testing method ($careHPV^{TM}$) for cervical cancer screening. Methods: 396 women aged 25-65 years were enrolled for cervical cancer screening, and four samples were collected. Two samples were collected by woman themselves, among which one was stored in DCM preservative solution (called "liquid sample") and the other was applied on the Whatman Indicating FTA $Elute^{(R)}$ card (FTA card). Another two samples were collected by physician and stored in DCM preservative solution and FTA card, respectively. All the samples were detected by $careHPV^{TM}$ test. All the women were administered a colposcopy examination, and biopsies were taken for pathological confirmation if necessary. Results: FTA card demonstrated a comparable sensitivity of detecting high grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) with the liquid sample carrier for self and physician-sampling, but showed a higher specificity than that of liquid sample carrier for self-sampling (FTA vs Liquid: 79.0% vs 71.6%, p=0.02). Generally, the FTA card had a comparable accuracy with that of Liquid-based medium by different sampling operators, with an area under the curve of 0.807 for physician &FTA, 0.781 for physician &Liquid, 0.728 for self & FTA, and 0.733 for self &Liquid (p>0.05). Conclusions: FTA card is a promising sample carrier for cervical cancer screening. With appropriate education programmes and further optimization of the experimental workflow, FTA card based self-collection in combination with centralized $careHPV^{TM}$ testing can help expand the coverage of cervical cancer screening in low-resource areas.

  • Octadecyl-modified graphene (graphene-C18) was fabricated and used as adsorbent in hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) for the first time. The extraction performance of graphene-C18 reinforced HF-LPME was evaluated using chlorophenols as model analytes. The factors affecting the extraction efficiency, such as extraction time, pH of the sample solution, agitation rate, the concentration of graphene-C18 and salt addition were optimized. After the graphene-C18 reinforced HF-LPME of the chlorophenols from honey sample, the analytes were separated and determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The linearity was observed in the range of 5.0-200.0 ng $g^{-1}$ for 2-chlorophenol and 3-chlorophenol, and 2.0-200.0 ng $g^{-1}$ for 2,3-dichlorophenol and 3,4-dichlorophenol, respectively. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) of the method were lower than 1.5 ng $g^{-1}$. The recoveries of the method were between 88% and 108%. The method is simple, sensitive and has been resoundingly applied to analysis of chlorophenols in honey samples.
