In order to obtain good watermark on paper by printing, vegetable oil system and UV light-curing system watermark varnish were prepared by changing the type of vegetable oil, prepolymer and monomer, then test its permeability and refractive index, study the effects of these components on the performance of watermark varnish. Print watermark varnish by screen printing to examine the watermark. The results show that watermark varnish prepared with different type of vegetable oil has different permeability, but refractive index is very close. Adding prepolymer can improve permeability and refractive index of vegetable oil system watermark varnish. If the specific gravity of prepolymer and monomer is greater, permeability of UV curing system watermark varnish is higher. If refractive index of prepolymer and monomer is bigger, refractive index of varnish is bigger. Printing effect of UV curing system watermark varnish is better than vegetable oil system watermark varnish.

Biodiesel is a fuel produced from renewable resources; it is a clean alternative fuel, which has drawn the attention of energy researchers for the last two decades due to the disturbing effect of climate change caused by diesel fuel. This paper focuses on showcasing the qualities of biodiesel produced from used vegetable oil and the positive impact on the alarming change in climate today. This paper presents an experimental investigation on production of biodiesel from used vegetable oil (UVO) gotten from a road side bean cake (akara) seller. The oil that was intended to be thrown out was de-odoured and filtered to remove impurities. The filtered oil was then used for biodiesel production and characterized with physical and fuel properties such as density, viscosity, cloud point, refractive index, specific gravity, ash content, moisture content, flash point and cloud point. The results obtained were afterwards compared to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and EN (Europe’s) international standards. Two biodiesels samples were produced at different temperatures but the same timings. The biodiesel were produced at 700C at 40mins (biodiesel A) and 1000C at 40mins (biodiesel B) with values of specific gravity (0.98 kg/m3; 0.90 kg/m3), density (936kg/m3; 882kg/m3), kinematic viscosity (1.5mm/s2; 5.5 mm/s2), cloud point (150C; 20C), flash point (2600C min; 2000C min), moisture content (0.07%; 0.04%), refractive index (1.4609; 1.4398) and ash point (0.24%; 0.01%) respectively. On comparison, biodiesel A couldn’t match up to the international standards while biodiesel matched up to the standards given.

Typical resins for UV-assisted additive manufacturing (AM) are prepared from petroleum-based materials and therefore do not contribute to the growing AM industry trend of converting to sustainable bio-based materials. To satisfy society and industry’s demand for sustainability, renewable feedstocks must be explored; unfortunately, there are not many options that are applicable to photopolymerization. Nevertheless, some vegetable oils can be modified to be suitable for UV-assisted AM technologies. In this work, extended study, through FTIR and photorheology measurements, of the UV-curing of epoxidized acrylate from soybean oil (AESO)-based formulations has been performed to better understand the photopolymerization process. The study demonstrates that the addition of appropriate functional comonomers like trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) and the adjusting of the concentration of photoinitiator from 1% to 7% decrease the needed UV-irradiation time by up to 25%. Under optimized conditions, the optimal curing time was about 4 s, leading to a double bond conversion rate (DBC%) up to 80% and higher crosslinking density determined by the Flory–Rehner empirical approach. Thermal and mechanical properties were also investigated via TGA and DMA measurements that showed significant improvements of mechanical performances for all formulations. The properties were improved further upon the addition of the reactive diluents. After the thorough investigations, the prepared vegetable oil-based resin ink formulations containing reactive diluents were deemed suitable inks for UV-assisted AM, giving their appropriate viscosity. The validation was done by printing different objects with complex structures using a laser based stereolithography apparatus (SLA) printer.

Soft lithography techniques has been used widely in the past decade to fabricate microfluidic chips used in biomedical applications. Abrasive jet machining (AJM) has been used to fabricate similar chips using particle erosion mechanisms. This thesis proposes a new technique using a UV light sensitive self-adhesive mask (RapidMask) and AJM to fabricate a three dimensional flow focusing microfluidic chip where the depth of the channel is allowed to vary along the channel length. A detailed characterization of the effect of curing parameters of a UV light curing self-adhesive mask on the resulting feature resolution is reported. Instead of relying on the manufacturer recommended curing parameters which were vaguely described for specific UV curing units, it was found that measured energy density could be used to quantify a recommended cure that is independent of the curing unit. The best achievable pattern on borosilicate glass using RM and AJM was found and reported along with the erosion rates of uncured, cured RM during AJM. A new methodology was introduced to use multiple layers of the RM in order to increase the achievable feature aspect ratio. The results of the RM curing and multiple layer investigation were then used to fabricate a three dimensional flow focusing chip with a varying depth at the focusing junction. The chip was then sealed and tested to demonstrate its capabilities and potential in healthcare and biomedical applications. To the best knowledge of the author, this thesis is the first to report using a double layer RM to fabricate a microfluidic chip using AJM.

In this paper, UV irradiation curing technology is used in the processing and manufacturing of micro structure parts and a micro-injection molding method of UV-curable molding was proposed to process microstructures. The special material for UV light curing injection of microstructural products was developed. The light curing reactivity of the micro injection light curing special material and its effect on the processing molding are studied. The kinetics of light curing reaction of UV curing injecting material were studied by online infrared spectroscopy (RT-IR). The contribution of mono functional monomers to the double bond conversion rate of microstructures is higher than that of high functional monomers. Under the same condition, the mono functional monomer can make the UV curing reaction more complete. Under the same process conditions, the rate of UV curing reaction of high functional monomers is higher than that of mono functional monomers.

Abstract Total solids by drying, refractive index, and specific gravity were determined on about 375 commercial samples of tomato juice, puree, and paste. Refractive index was determined with and without dilution of tomato paste; pectic enzymes were used to aid filtration and centrifugation. A new specific gravity bottle was used. The new AOAC method for total solids was compared with the former AOAC method on 115 samples. Variations from previous tables relating refractive index and total solids were of little significance up to 20% solids but were increasingly greater as solids increased above 20%. Data obtained in these studies showed lower values for total solids than the old tables in most instances. Separate regression equations had to be calculated for the solids content of the diluted and undiluted samples. Total solids by the official AOAC method was the most precise of the methods used. However, specific gravity and refractive index were both found to have satisfactory degrees of precision

The In-Mold Roller is a revolutionary printing process by which objects are 3D decorated. Products decorated by In-Mold Roller are waterproof and protected from fading. What’s more, these kinds of decorations strongly increase the beauty, desirability and value of the objects. The In-Mold Roller is now using either of gravure printing and screen printing to print PET film. However, there are some problems with these two techniques. This research is to investigate potential usages of combining In-Mold Roller with digital UV inkjet printing in 3D decoration, e.g. in personalized printing services. Study results found that when the coverage and the resolution of inkjet printing become higher, the SIDs will become higher as well. When transferred to ABS, SIDs in each combination will increase. Each combination of inkjet conditions, with the isolation of white ink, color differences are less variant. TVIs of white ink decrease 30% to 40% halftone and display in “M” type. In print contrast, C and K colors of each combination are better than M and Y colors. After transferred into print contrast, each combination of PC will be higher about 2 to5. When transferred to ABS, color variances of each combination are not huge, and color differences are about 3to5.
