经济学人:如何把牙膏挤得一滴不剩?(2)


To produce their slippery pipes and containers, Dr Varanasi and Dr Smith first impose a microscopically textured pattern on them and then apply a suitably formulated liquid. This fills the gaps in the texture, creating a surface across which gooey substances slide easily. Any risk of contamination can be eliminated by making the liquid in question from materials also employed in the product.

译文

为了制造出超顺滑的管道和容器,瓦拉纳西和史密斯首先在它们的内壁打造出极其细微的凹凸纹理,然后再加入一种配方得当的液体。这种液体会填补纹理间的空隙,从而形成一个能让粘稠物质轻松滑过的表面。这种液体可以用容器内装载的产品用到的原料来制造,这样就可以完全消除污染的风险。

 

Besides pleasing customers who like to get their money's worth, the new, slippery toothpaste tubes should help with recycling. Existing tubes are rarely recycled, not only because they have residue left inside them but also because they are usually made from a laminate of plastic and aluminium foil. Mixed materials of this sort are hard to recycle, and therefore end up being dumped in landfill, or incinerated.
译文

这种新型超顺滑牙膏管除了能让那些不喜欢白白浪费钱的顾客开心,应该还有助于废物利用。现有的牙膏管很少被回收,不仅是因为里面有残余物,还因为它们通常是由一层塑料和铝箔制成。这种混合材料很难回收,因此最终会被扔到垃圾填埋场或者焚烧。

 

Despite their success with toothpaste, Dr Varanasi and Dr Smith have not given up on food producers. Besides ketchup, their slippery surfaces also aid the dispensing of products such as mayonnaise, and may help, too, with things like hummus and soured cream that have a thicker consistency and which usually come in tubs. They have, for instance, carried out a trial putting cream cheese into a squeezy bottle with a slot-shaped dispenser. "You get this perfect strip of cream cheese right on your bagel," enthuses Dr Smith.
译文

尽管已经把牙膏拿下,但两人并没有放弃食品生产商。除了番茄酱,他们的光滑表面还能帮人们更畅快地涂抹蛋黄酱等产品。还有鹰嘴豆泥和酸奶油之类更粘稠和通常用盒子装的产品或许也用得着。例如,他们做了一次试验,把奶油芝士装进一个可以挤的、带有槽状挤出口的瓶子里。你可以在百吉饼上挤出完美的一圈奶油芝士。史密斯兴奋地说。
