Description
Technical field
The utility model relates to micro-fluidic field, the particularly micro-fluidic chip of EOF in a kind of effective inhibition fluid channel, espespecially a kind of micro-fluidic chip that suppresses EOF at fluid channel surface grafting polyelectrolyte brush.Thereby but balance, minimizing or suppress the EOF of generation in fluid channel material surface institute electronegative inhibition fluid channel can be applicable to the fields such as protein analysis separation, DNA separation.
Background technology
EOF is because the fluid channel material surface is electronegative, and when electric field is added on fluid, electrostatic charge is driven by Coulomb force and the fluid that causes flows.In micro-fluidic chip, suppress EOF and can improve efficiency, reappearance and the separating degree of separation.And, in applications such as electroosmotic pumps, increase EOF and can improve pump performance, contribute to electrophoretic separation, chromatography.
In recent years, the micro-fluidic chip development rapidly, is used widely in fields such as medical treatment, national defence, pharmacy, biochemical analysis.Study the fluid channel surface that shows the polyelectrolyte brush modification and can realize the EOF regulation and control.Research is found, under the effect of vertical electric field and transverse electric field, different grafting densities, different polymerization degree and different electric-field intensity, can cause the variation of polyelectrolyte brush conformation, can reach the purpose of regulation and control EOF (referring to Qianqian Cao, ChunchengZuo, Lujuan Li, Yinhe Zhang, Modulation of electroosmotic flow by electric field-responsive polyelectrolyte brushes:a molecular dynamic study, MicrofluidNanofluid, 2012, 12, 649-655, Qianqian Cao, ChunchengZuo, LUjuan Li, Yinhe Zhang, Guang Yan, Electro-osmotic Flow in Nanochannels with Voltage-Controlled Polyelectrolyte Brushes:Dependence on Grafting Density and Normal Electric Field, Polymer Physics, 2012,50,805-811, Zhao Zhang, ChunchengZuo, Qianqian Cao, Yanhong Ma, Shuqing Chen, Modulation of Electroosmotic Flow Using Polyelectrolyte Brushes:A Molecular Dynamics Study, Macromolecular, 2012,21,145-152).In addition; neutral polymer brush under the different solvents condition also can be to fluid channel in EOF influential (referring to Qianqian Cao; ChunchengZuo, Lujuan Li, Yanhong Ma; Nanli; Electroosmotic flow in a nanofluidic channel coated with neutral polymers, MicrofluidNanofluid, 2010; 9,1051-1062; Qianqian Cao, ChunchengZuo, Lujuan Li, Yang Yang, Nan Li, Controlling electroosmotic flow by polymer coating:a dissipative particle dynamics study, MicrofluidNanofluid, 2011,10,977-990).Above research shows that fluid channel surface grafting polymerization thing brush can increase EOF, yet there are no the report that suppresses EOF.
