The virtual impactor, as an atmospheric particle classification chip, provides scientific guidance for identifying the characteristics of particle composition. Most of the studies related to virtual impactors focus on their size structure design, and...
The increasing air pollution across the globe has given rise to a global health crisis that is increasing at an alarming rate. Every year, millions of people lose their lives due to health risks caused by air pollutants. Hence, there is a pressing ne...
Virtual impactors are widely used for particulate matter (PM) classification due to their advantages of small cut-off particle size, simple structural design, ease of operation, and high particle handling capability, enabling subsequent analysis base...
In recent years, the escalating risk of natural disasters caused by Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) has garnered heightened scrutiny, particularly in the aftermath of the 2013 Chelyabinsk event. This has prompted increased interest from governmental and su...
We designed and fabricated a new sensing system which consists of two virtual impactors and two quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors for measuring particle mass concentration and size distribution. The virtual impactors utilized different inerti...
Atmospheric particulate pollution poses a great danger to the environment and human health, and there is a strong need to develop equipment for collecting and separating particulate matter of different particle sizes to study the effects of particula...
Design, fabrication and experiments of a miniature particulate matter (PM) 2.5 sensor based on the surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology were proposed. The sensor contains a virtual impactor (VI) for particle separation, a thermophoretic precipitato...
Most of the microfluidics-related literature describes devices handling liquids, with only a small part dealing with gas-based applications, and a much smaller number of papers are devoted to the separation and/or detection of airborne inorganic part...
A novel aerodynamic lens-based inlet system was developed for a wide particle size range, and it could extend the size range of transmitted particulate matter (PM) to 50 nm–10 μm. The lens system adopted a seven-stage aerodynamic focusing or...
Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) air-microfluidic grading chip is the premise for realizing high-precision PM online monitoring. It can be used as an indispensable basis for identifying pollution sources and controlling inhalable harmful substance...
Current industrial trends bring new challenges in energy absorbing systems. Polymer materials as the traditional packaging materials seem to be promising due to their low weight, structure, and production price. Based on the review, the linear low-de...
This laboratory study evaluates an experimental set-up to study the immersion freezing properties of ice residuals (IRs) at a temperature ranging from −26 to −34 °C using two continuous-flow diffusion chamber-style ice nucleation chambers coupled wit...
