AbstractMagnetoactive membrane-type acoustic metamaterials are fabricated by coating a layer of magnetic nanoparticles on the polyethylene (PE) membranes and their vibration characters are investigated experimentally. From our experiments, we discovered that, under different magnetic fields by varying the distance between a magnet and the membranes, such membranes exhibit tunable vibration eigenfrequencies (the shift towards lower frequencies), which is caused by the variation of the effective mass density and effective tension coefficient resulted from the second derivative of the magnetic field. The strong magnetic force between the layer of magnetic nanoparticles and the magnet enhances the eigenfrequency shift. A spring oscillator model is proposed and it agrees well with the experimental results. We also experimentally observed that the vibration radius, effective mass density, and effective tension coefficient of the membranes can enormously affect the eigenfrequencies of the membranes. We believe that this type of metamaterials may open up some potential applications for acoustic devices with turntable vibration properties.

The acoustic characteristics of 2D single-oscillator, dual-oscillator, and triple-oscillator acoustic metamaterials were investigated based on concentric ring structures using the finite element method. For the single-oscillator, dual-oscillator, and triple-oscillator models investigated here, the dipolar resonances of the scatterer always induce negative effective mass density, preventing waves from propagating in the structure, thus forming the band gap. As the number of oscillators increases, relative movements between the oscillators generate coupling effect; this increases the number of dipolar resonance modes, causes negative effective mass density in more frequency ranges, and increases the number of band gaps. It can be seen that the number of oscillators in the cell is closely related to the number of band gaps due to the coupling effect, when the filling rate is of a certain value.

The transmission loss (TL) of membrane-type acoustic metamaterials consisting of small mass and rubber membrane was studied. By establishing a mass-spring equivalent model of metamaterial structural unit, which regards rubber membrane as having the dual role of damping force and spring force, we demonstrated that effective mass density of this membrane-type acoustic metamaterial was negative in the band gap range by theoretical analysis. Based on the theory of plane wave propagation, we studied the sound insulation of this membrane-type acoustic metamaterial. The result showed that membrane-type metamaterial was based on the principle of dipole resonance, which made the membrane-type acoustic metamaterial appear high reflection and low transmission phenomenon so as to achieve the aim of reducing noise. By optimal design, the sound attenuation frequency range of this membrane-type acoustic metamaterial was reduced to 20Hz-100Hz, greatly enhancing the ability of this metamaterial in terms of low-frequency sound insulation. We obtained the distribution of sound intensity at the optimum transmission frequency and the best reflection frequency by coupled acoustic-structural analysis. The best sound insulation frequency was matched with the second order and the third order eigenfrequency of this membrane-type acoustic metamaterial unit, and the strain energy was concentrated at the joint of small mass and the membrane. The total sound insulation of acoustic metamaterial plate was better than the single metamaterial unit.

A microfluidic device was fabricated via UV lithography technique to separate nonmagnetic fluoresbrite carboxy microspheres (∼4.5 μm) from the ferrofluids made of magnetic nanoparticles (∼10 nm). A mixture of microspheres and ferrofluid was injected to lithographically developed Y shape micro channels, and then by applying the external magnet field, the fluoresbrite carboxy microspheres and ferrofluids were clearly separated into different channels because of the magnetic force acting on those nonmagnetic particles. During the fabrication, a number of different parameters, such as UV exposure times, UV power level and photoresist thickness were tested to optimize for our needs. In addition, in the magnetic field testing, different pumping speeds, and particle concentrations associated with the various distances between the magnet and the microfluidic system were studied for an efficient separation.

Scaffolding is the conceptual framework of conventional tissue engineering. Over the past decade, scaffold-free approaches as a potential alternative to classic scaffold-based methods have emerged, and scaffold-free magnetic levitational tissue engineering (magnetic force-based tissue engineering [Mag-TE]) is a type of this novel tissue engineering strategy. However, Mag-TE is often based on the use of potentially toxic magnetic nanoparticles. Scaffold-free and label-free magnetic levitational bioassembly do not employ magnetic nanoparticles and thus, the potential toxicity of magnetic nanoparticles can be avoided. In this short review, we describe the conceptual foundation of scaffold-free, label-free, and nozzle-free formative biofabrication using magnetic fields as “scaffields.” The design and implementation of “Organ.Aut,” the first commercial magnetic levitational bioassembler, and the potential applications of magnetic bioassembler are discussed as well.
