The luminous fiber is a kind of functional material which is made from rare earth luminescent powders. This fiber is composed of raw material and long lasting rare earth luminescent material, and made by a special spinning process. If luminous fibers absorb visible light and store lighting energy, then it will continue to light in dark for more than 10 hours. The luminous fiber can shows a variety of colors, such as red, yellow, green and blue in the light, and display all sorts of colors, such as red, yellow, blue and green in the dark. The advantages of this fiber are with brilliant color, no requirement of energy consumption, and a kind of environmentally friendly high-tech product. This paper discusses characteristics and applications of luminous material and fibers, and the purpose is to promote such material into the potential market.
Solar Energy is a kind of green and renewable energy, and solar cells can be used to convert solar energy to electricity. Due to the requirements of carbon reduction and energy saving as well as the policy of Government incentive, the installation of solar energy system is becoming more and more popular. However, the available ground surface is limited, and the installation site of solar energy is gradually extended to building roofs, fish bonds and other special places. Because the traditional solar cells tend to monotonous dark blue or reddish brown color, the aspiration for colored solar cells is appeared in recent years to cope with the aesthetic requirement for solar facilities in the living environment. This paper discusses the principle and applications of colored solar cells, including the types of colored products, and the methods of making color change. In addition, the theory of chromatic has been used to explain the guidelines of color selection and coordination of solar cells in various situations and applications.
As a new and efficient light source, LED has the advantages of long service life, low power consumption, small volume, light weight, rich color and fast response. Therefore, LED seems apparently quite suitable for functional apparel design, and becomes an important item of development, exhibition and promotion for research institutions and the clothing industry. In the recent years, the development trend of textile application of LED is changed from simple light bulb and light bar to the emergence of new material, including soft packaging, optical fiber, LED yarn, and organic light emitting diode. This paper describes components and systems of LED, textile application material and using method, concept illustration and design idea of some selected application cases. The purpose of this paper is to spread the knowledge of function, esthetics and practical value which displayed by the LED application in clothing, and improve both customer acceptance and market potential of luminous dresses in the clothing market.
The technology of high voltage electrostatic field has been used for food processing in recent years, especially for thawing and freezing of food. However, the application of this technology on food cooking is still in the initial development stage. Although there are a little applications of food cooking using high voltage electrostatic field in some restaurants in Taiwan area, the corresponding study is very scarcely. This study describes mechanism, principles and devices of electrostatic cooking of food, as well as results of some electrostatic cooking experiments. Obviously, the high voltage electrostatic technology can be beneficial for food cooking, and the effects of sanitery and health of electrostatic cooked food are important for human body.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
