Bioinspired programmable wettability arrays for droplets manipulation

  一种可编程的润湿性阵列,以用于液滴操纵。

Introduction

  小质量流体的可控操纵因其在化学反应、医疗诊断、生物分析等广阔的应用前景上唤起了大量的兴趣和研究。当前已有大量方法被开发以操纵液滴,如电、声波、磁、光和湿润梯度。其中,基于湿润表面的技术的液滴操纵是一种理想的选择,因为它们在简化和效率上具有不可比拟的优势。特别是具有可调的润湿性的表面,能够对外界刺激做出可逆的反应,抑制液滴的固定和滑动,显示出智能和可控性的优势。尽管当前有很多成功的应用,它们中大部分只能展示统一的控制行为,因此很难精确地操纵液滴去一个具体的位置或多个位置。因此,具有编程能力的湿润性位置的功能表面仍被预期扩展它们在液滴操纵中的实际价值。

  本文由植物上的气孔启发,提出了使用微流控乳化模板对液滴进行处理的可编程润湿性阵列,如图1所示。气孔是被一对保卫细胞围绕的独特植物结构具有液压门控功能,可自动转换打开和关闭状态以调节与环境的气体交换。微流控是一个平台,通过微尺度的整合的通道以精确控制和操纵小质量的流体。

  作者通过使用同轴组装的毛细管微流控装置将氧化石墨烯(graphene oxide, GO)复合N-异丙基丙烯酰胺(N-isopropylacrylamide, NIPAM)水凝胶溶液乳化在纳米二氧化硅分散的乙氧基化三羟甲基丙烷三丙烯酸酯(ETPTA)相,从而制造了具有润湿性阵列的所需表面。

有关类似光敏GO/NIPAM复合凝胶,国内期刊也有提及[2],对照看增加理解。
