Abstract: A solvent supply unit of a substrate processing device is disposed at a position higher than an opening of an upper surface of a processing tank, and supplies a mist-like solvent from an outside of the processing tank toward an inside of the processing tank in plan view. When a substrate is immersed in processing liquid, a control unit performs a solvent supply operation of decompressing an inside of the chamber and supplying the mist-like solvent from the solvent supply unit. In a solvent supply state in which the inside of the chamber is decompressed and the solvent is supplied, the control unit causes a lifter to take out the substrate from the processing liquid in the processing tank, and then opens a QDR valve to discharge the processing liquid from the processing tank. In the solvent supply state, the control unit causes the lifter to lower the substrate to a lower position in the processing tank in which the processing liquid is not stored, and then causes the lifter to raise the substrate.

Abstract: A process of preparing an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) anti-wear composite material modified by a manganese phosphate nanosheet is as follows: a trihydrate manganese phosphate nanosheet and UHMWPE powder are prepared firstly, and then the trihydrate manganese phosphate nanosheet is mechanically mixed with UHMWPE powder to form mixed powder; finally, the mixed powder is heated, molded, melted, and solidified using a hot-pressing method; and after cooling and demolding, the modified UHMWPE anti-wear composite material is obtained. Since the trihydrate manganese phosphate nanosheet can form a manganese phosphate film during a friction process, the manganese phosphate film can effectively reduce the deformation and tearing of friction surfaces of materials, thereby improving the anti-friction and anti-wear performance of UHMWPE. The friction coefficient, wear depth, and width of the UHMWPE anti-wear composite material under dry friction conditions are significantly improved.
