  • Publication number: 20230192975
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of functional film materials; disclosed are a wavelength-controllable cellulose iridescent film and a method for preparation thereof. The method is: (1) mixing well a cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspension with lactic acid solution and glucose solution to obtain a CNC/lactic acid/glucose mixed solution; said CNC suspension being a cellulose nanocrystal suspension; (2) drying the CNC/lactic acid/glucose mixed solution to form a film to obtain a cellulose iridescent film. The method of the present invention is simple and low in cost. In the present invention, by means of the addition of lactic acid and glucose, the prepared film has iridescent film characteristics; the wavelength of the iridescent film is within the range of visible light, and the wavelengths of different colors of iridescent film are controllable.

  • Publication number: 20230011911
    Abstract: A surface disease repair system and method for an infrastructure based on climbing robots are provided. The system includes a detection and marking climbing robot and a repair climbing robot. In the process of moving on a surface of an infrastructure to be detected, the detection and marking climbing robot collects a front surface image in real time through a binocular camera arranged at a front end, detects a disease on the basis of the front surface image, and performs localization and map reconstruction at the same time; when a disease is detected, the position of the disease is recorded, and a marking device is controlled to mark the disease; after detection and marking are completed, the position of the disease and the map are sent to the repair climbing robot; and the repair climbing robot receives the map and the position of the disease, reaches the position of the disease, and repairs the disease according to the mark by using a repair device.

  • Patent number: 9675104
    Abstract: A cigarette paper additive having harm reduction function and application thereof are provided. The additive contains alkali metal salts of butane tetracarboxylic acid or cyclobutane tetracarboxylic acid which are prepared by reacting the butane tetracarboxylic acid or cyclobutane tetracarboxylic acid with alkali. The application thereof is evenly adding the aqueous additive solution at different concentrations to cigarette paper by a metering rod-type film transfer sizing machine in a sizing section of the cigarette paper production, and the produced cigarette paper is used for cigarette production that can effectively reduce release of CO, phenol and tar in the mainstream smoke, and has better effects of harm reduction and tar reduction. The method of the invention is easy, does not need to alter the existing cigarette paper production process, and has low cost and higher industrial application value.
