A method for mounting functional elements in a lens includes mounting the functional elements on a foil, applying a closed contour alignment surface of an alignment tool having a central opening surrounded by the closed contour on the foil portion opposite to the mounted function elements, applying underpressure on the central opening to maintain the foil portion with the mounted functional elements on the alignment tool, cutting a flap including the foil portion and supporting the functional elements out of the foil, positioning and aligning the flap through actuator, fixing the position of the flap against the adjacent foil surface, embedding the foil with the mounted functional elements in a predetermined distance to the front surface of a mould, and casting and curing the lens with the embedded foil.

A gradient electrically conductive-uniform thermally conductive dual network structure-based electromagnetic shielding polymer composite with low reflection and high absorption and a preparation method thereof. The electromagnetic shielding polymer composite includes a gradient conductive carbon nanotube network with a vertically oriented cell structure and a uniformly thermally conductive hexagonal boron nitride/carbon nanotube network constructed by the hexagonal boron nitride dispersed uniformly in the carbon nanotube network and the gradient carbon nanotube network. The gradient electrically conductive carbon nanotube network and the uniformly thermally conductive hexagonal boron nitride/carbon nanotube network form a composite synergistic dual function network structure so as to make the electromagnetic shielding polymer composite have a low reflection and high absorption and excellent thermal conductivity.

Systems and methods for lens creations are disclosed. The method includes initiating light transmission from a light source through a diffuser into a container holding resin and a substrate. The light transmission is performed according to an irradiation pattern wherein each point in the resin is illuminated by at least 10% of the diffuser. This causes a lens to be formed. To achieve this illumination, at least 15% of the diffuser receives light from the light source. Further, a diameter of the diffuser is greater than or equal to a diameter of the substrate. The system performing the methods includes a polymerization apparatus and may include a resin conditioning and reservoir apparatus, a metrology unit, a resin drainage apparatus and an optional postcuring apparatus.

Disclosed is a material with directional thermal conduction and thermal insulation and a preparation method thereof. The method includes: (1) dispersing a viscose-based carbon fiber in water and adding a phenolic resin and polyacrylamide sequentially to obtain a dispersion I; dispersing a high-thermal conduction carbon fiber in water and adding a phenolic resin and polyacrylamide sequentially to obtain a dispersion II; (2) dividing equally the dispersion I and the dispersion II into several parts, respectively, pouring each part of the dispersion I and each part of the dispersion II into a mold alternately until all the dispersion I and the dispersion II are poured, draining after each pouring of a part of the dispersion I or a part of the dispersion II to obtain a porous carbon fiber skeleton, and solidifying the skeleton to obtain a preform; (3) subjecting the preform to a heat treatment to obtain the material.

Vacuum systems for epoxy mounting of material samples are disclosed. In some examples, a vacuum system may be a castable and/or cold mounting vacuum system that facilitates mounting and/or encapsulation of material samples in epoxy resin under low, vacuum, and/or near vacuum pressure. In some examples, the vacuum system may comprise a flow control device configured to control epoxy flow through a dispensing tube that connects to a hollow vacuum chamber. In some examples, the vacuum chamber may have an opening encircled by a rim sandwiched between upper and lower portions of a sealing ring. A movable lid may be configured to press down on the upper portion of the sealing ring when in a closed position, so as to seal the opening.

A flat-pressing manufacturing method of a bionic adhesive structure based on a micro through-hole nickel-based mold is disclosed. The method includes the following steps: preparing a nickel-based mold with a micro through-hole array; placing the nickel-based mold on an elastic pad in a magnetic mold closing system; coating a liquid prepolymer uniformly on a backing, and placing a side of the backing coated with the liquid prepolymer on the nickel-based mold, covering a sealing diaphragm on the backing to separate a cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, and performing a vacuum treatment on the lower chamber and an inflation treatment on the upper chamber to apply a uniform pressure on the backing layer and achieve a full filling of prepolymers with different viscosities; and after the filling is completed, curing and demolding to obtain the bionic adhesive structure.
