Wicking remains the enigmatic key factor in many research areas. From boiling in power plants, to anti-icing on plane wings, to medical instruments, to heat pipes, efficiency and safety depend on how quickly a surface becomes wet. Yet wicking remains difficult to quantify and define as a property of the surface. This experiment strives to measure the wicking property by examining the rate that a liquid can be pulled out of a container. A superhydrophilic surface is placed in contact with the liquid at the bottom of a tube so that the volume flow rate across the surface can be …

Silicon carbide (SiC) resin is produced through shear mixing 0.1-1 μm SiC powders with Tethon’s high load Genesis resin base. Resins of varying SiC vol.% were synthesized to test the loading limit of the resin base; 10, 20, and 30 vol.% of SiC were made with the resin base handling the higher loads quite well. Several attempts were made at printing using the Tethon Bison 1000 DLP printer with higher loads of SiC showing better results even with lower intensity UV lights andtimes.
