Description

Extreme manufacturing equipment of micro-droplet three-dimensional sphere structure and using method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of soft condensed state substance manufacturing, and particularly relates to extreme manufacturing equipment of a micro-droplet three-dimensional sphere structure and a using method thereof.
Background
The soft substance is also called as soft condensed substance, and includes liquid crystal, colloid, macromolecule, particulate substance, life system substance (such as DNA, protein, cell membrane), emulsion, etc., and is widely existed and far affected in nature, life, daily life and production. In recent decades, the micro-nano processing technology for solid materials realizes the integration of complex electronic functions on micron-scale electronic devices, and contributes to the rapid development of modern electronic industry, particularly semiconductor industry. As the macroscopic characteristics of the intelligent flexible material depend on chemical components and microstructures of the intelligent flexible material, the micro-nano processing technology for liquid and soft material has important scientific and technical values in the fields of photonics, optoelectronics, flexible electronics, intelligent sensing, chemical engineering, medicine, biopharmaceuticals and the like. But in contrast, its development is rather delayed.
However, at present, droplet microfluidic technology is generally adopted for micro-nano processing of fluids and soft substances, and the structural design of a microfluidic chip is limited by the special physical properties of the materials such as fluidity, interfacial tension, diffusion effect and the like, and only a few simpler droplet structures can be assembled by virtue of the droplet microfluidic technology: for example, a sub-droplet of one material nests within a droplet of another material, flexible assembly of droplet sphere structures is not possible.
The laser injection technology is a micro-nano processing technology aiming at fluid and soft substances emerging in recent years, and the main principle is that a Gaussian beam is utilized to irradiate the surface of a liquid crystal (soft substance) micro-droplet in an aqueous solution to form mechanical force to inject the aqueous solution into the liquid crystal micro-droplet to form a sub-droplet by virtue of the interaction between light and the substances. The technology expands laser micro-nano manufacturing to the extreme manufacturing field of fluid and soft substances, and shows flexibility and complexity far exceeding those of the traditional micro-fluidic process.
However, the droplet ball structure assembled by this technique is simple: the micro-nano particles are radially distributed along the sphere in the liquid crystal microdroplet, so that the possibility of subsequent application and development is greatly restricted. If the potential of material self-organization can be further developed, the self-assembly of the micro-nano particles in the micro-droplets into different three-dimensional morphological structures is controlled, and the method has important scientific and technical values for promoting the progress of extreme manufacturing technology and potential application development of the micro-droplet spherical structure.
