The periodic low-frequency force can improve mixing efficiency and reduce water constraint, thus intensifying the high solids enzymatic hydrolysis . However, the availability of intensification methods for the periodic force with different frequencies needs to be studied. The periodic high-frequency vibration with rigid spheres added as another intensification method was proposed to shorten the time of water constraint and improve efficiency. Within this study, glucan and xylan conversions in periodic high-frequency vibration with rigid spheres added enzymatic hydrolysis (PVEH) increased by 8.3%-35% and 5.0%-33.5%, respectively, with solid loading increasing from 15% to 25%, compared with those in static state enzymatic hydrolysis (SEH). The physical properties variations of substrate indirectly proved the higher efficiency of PVEH. Based on the change regularity of constrained water release, PVEH was divided into three stages. The effects of micromixing and macromixing in three stages were analyzed. Additionally, the efficiency of high solids enzymatic hydrolysis can be enhanced by using proper intensification methods in different stages.
Flexible pressure sensors can convert mechanical stimuli to electrical signals to interact with the surroundings, mimicking the functionality of the human skins. Piezocapacitive pressure sensors, a class of most widely used devices for artificial skins, however, often suffer from slow response-relaxation speed (tens of milliseconds) and thus fail to detect dynamic stimuli or high-frequency vibrations. Here, we show that the contact-separation behavior of the electrode-dielectric interface is an energy dissipation process that substantially determines the response-relaxation time of the sensors. We thus reduce the response and relaxation time to ~0.04 ms using a bonded microstructured interface that effectively diminishes interfacial friction and energy dissipation. The high response-relaxation speed allows the sensor to detect vibrations over 10 kHz, which enables not only dynamic force detection, but also acoustic applications. This sensor also shows negligible hysteresis to precisely track dynamic stimuli. Our work opens a path that can substantially promote the response-relaxation speed of piezocapacitive pressure sensors into submillisecond range and extend their applications in acoustic range.
