Invariants of ratio of crystal-mobile, liquid-mobile, and vaporized chaotized particles in solid, liquid, and gas states of substance

The authors of the article have developed the concept of chaotic particles based on the Boltzmann distribution over the kinetic energy of the particles’ chaotic motion. This distribution allows to combine the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of matter with the help of energetic particles called crystal-mobile, liquid-mobile, and vapor-mobile. The ratio of the proportions of such randomized particles determines a certain state of matter aggregation. The sum of the shares of these particles in all combinations at any temperature is equal to unity. During the study it has identified that qualitative and quantitative analysis of states with a priority basic effect of a randomized component of a substance can be conducted. Certain regularities of states were discovered, independent of the specific type of substance and consistent with the physicochemical properties. The entropy of mixing of all three energy classes of chaotic particles was calculated for simple substances. It was characterized by a maximum in the interval of the boiling point of substances. This feature testifies to the unique variety of possibilities for the implementation of the most complex heterogeneous processes in terrestrial conditions at atmospheric pressure, which ultimately ensured the self-organization of life

Rapid, large-volume, thermally controlled 3D printing using a mobile liquid interface

We report a stereolithographic three-dimensional printing approach for polymeric components that uses a mobile liquid interface (a fluorinated oil) to reduce the adhesive forces between the interface and the printed object, thereby allowing for a continuous and rapid print process, regardless of polymeric precursor. The bed area is not size-restricted by thermal limitations because the flowing oil enables direct cooling across the entire print area. Continuous vertical print rates exceeding 430 millimeters per hour with a volumetric throughput of 100 liters per hour have been demonstrated, and proof-of-concept structures made from hard plastics, ceramic precursors, and elastomers have been printed.
