  • Publication number: 20140220869
    Abstract: A subtle vortex polishing apparatus includes a receiving unit; a stirring unit, movably provided in the receiving unit; and a transmission unit, connected to the stirring unit. The workpiece to be polished and the fluid abrasive are placed in the in the receiving unit. The stirring unit is driven by the transmission unit so that the fluid abrasive in the receiving unit forms the eddy friction for polishing the workpiece and the deburring, polishing, chamfering for the workpiece can be finished in one time. Thereby, the grinding effect of the inner and outer surfaces of the workpiece enhances, and this invention can be thus used in processing small, bored, cracked, cambered complex surfaces, achieving the effects of easy operation, single-sided or multi-surface processing at the same time, increase in the processing rate, significant reduce in labor intensity, reduced processing costs and improved productivity.

  • Publication number: 20130302567
    Abstract: Disclosed are a substrate with a microstructure and a method for producing the same. In this method microparticles of a random allocation by means of a natural self-assembly mechanism are used to coat on a master mold. Firstly, hollow micro glass particles within a specific size range are mixed with a UV-curable adhesive to become a mixed solution. Afterwards, the master mold is dip-coated in the mixed solution and the microparticles coated on the master mold are self-assembled. To fix the microparticles on the master mold to form a sphere array microstructure with a three dimensional random allocation, a UV light source is used to radiate the master mold for curing. Afterwards, an inverse mold with the corresponding microstructure is fabricated by electroforming or polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) casting the master mold. Thus, the inverse mold can be applied to the fabrication of a substrate with the corresponding microstructure.
