This ranges from supplements and pharmaceuticals that are meant to improve our health and wellbeing to additives meant to guard or reduce corrosion in metals. However, over the past several years, a new area of technology has been garnering a great deal of attention and has made use of zinc and its compounds. This is with reference to paper-based microfluidic technology that offers several advantages and that keeps expanding in the amount of applications it covers. In this paper, a review is offered for the applications that have used zinc or zinc compounds in paper-based microfluidic devices.展开更多

The water-based binder comprises a latex containing 80 wt% acrylic acid in the latex solids, and 20 wt% melthyl methacrylate, the binder also contains 5 parts of a cross-linking resin per 100 weight parts of latex solids and 5% parts of catalyst for the cross-linking resin based on the weight of the cross-linking resin. 4 wt% water-based polymer emulsion, on a solids basis, which is used to impregnate filter paper and rigidify it. Such impregnated filter paper has good dry and wet tensile strength and stiffness. The method has no impairing to the environment.展开更多
