  • Patent number: 11964428
    Abstract: The present invention provides a bottom plate of a resin tank for three-dimensional printing, which is manufactured through the following steps: substrate surface roughening step: treating the upper surface of a transparent substrate by using a plasma, or disposing a composite film on the upper surface of the transparent substrate to form a non-smooth surface structure having pores; substrate surface modification step: sequentially performing an activation treatment and a fluorination treatment on the upper surface of the transparent substrate; and stabilizer filling step: applying a stabilizer to the upper surface of the transparent substrate to fill the stabilizer penetrates into the pores on the upper surface of the transparent substrate. The low surface energy film reduces the adhesion of the hardened photosensitive material, and the stabilizer maintains the structure of the low surface energy film, so that the resin tank bottom plate has both oleophobic and hydrophobic properties.

  • Patent number: 11848628
    Abstract: A flexible clean energy power generation device with high power efficiency, which is a multi-film structure, includes an internal conductive support layer and an ion transport layer. The internal conductive support layer is formed by coating a conductive material onto a hydrophilic substrate; the ion transport layer is formed by coating a polyelectrolyte onto an outer side of the internal conductive support layer. After a solution is dropped on the device, the solution produces a capillary pressure difference by capillary action and evaporation phenomena to drive water molecules and counterions of the solution to move from a wet side to a dry side, thus producing a potential difference. Without an external pressure, the device uses a layered two-dimensional conductive material together with a polyelectrolyte, realizing a self-electrokinetic power generation with high energy output and long-life by capillary action and evaporation phenomena with using pure aqueous solution or other electrolyte solutions.
