Many scholars have conducted in-depth analysis on relevant factors that affect the accuracy of jet dispensing. However, research on the influence of needle impact velocity on jetting performance is limited. Thus, a piezoelectric needle-collision dispenser for micro-droplet jetting is designed in this study, and the influence of the needle impact velocity on jetting effect is deeply analyzed. Initially, the principle of droplet formation and injection is analyzed by Fluent simulation. Thereafter, the mathematical model of the droplet velocity in the nozzle orifice is derived, and the influence of the needle impact velocity on the jetting performance is simulated and analyzed. Results show that the needle impact velocity has an influence on the jetting effect. A prototype of the jetting dispenser is subsequently fabricated, and the needle impact velocity is tested with laser micrometer. The relationship between the needle impact velocity and droplet weight and its corresponding ejected effect are obtained through experimental research. Finally, a UV glue with viscosity of 5,000 cps can be ejected with a minimum average diameter of 272.1 μm by using a needle with a radius of 0.5 mm, a nozzle with a diameter of 50 μm, a taper angle of 90°, a supply pressure of 0.2 Mpa, and a needle impact velocity of 0.13 m/s. The variation of the droplet diameter is within ±2.5%.

Two quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) models of hindered phenolic antioxidants in lubricating oils were established to help guide the molecular structure design of antioxidants. Firstly, stepwise regression (SWR) was used to filter out essential molecular descriptors without autocorrelation, including electronic, topological, spatial, and structural descriptors, and multiple linear regression (MLR) was used to construct QSPR models based on the screened variables. The two models are statistically sound, with R² values of 0.942 and 0.941, respectively. The models’ reliability was verified by the frontier molecular orbital energy gaps of the antioxidants. A hindered phenolic additive was designed based on the models. Its antioxidant property is calculated to be 20.9% and 11.0% higher than that of typical commercial antioxidants methyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate and 2,2′-methylenebis(6-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol), respectively. The structure–property relationship of hindered phenolic antioxidants in lubricating oil obtained by computer-assisted analysis can not only predict the antioxidant properties of existing hindered phenolic additives but also provide theoretical basis and data support for the design or modification of lubricating oil additives with higher antioxidant properties.

Anti-wear performance is a crucial quality of lubricants, and it is important to conduct research into the structure–activity relationship of anti-wear additives in bio-based lubricants.
