溶胀后的弹性印章进行毛细微模塑

Micromolding in capillaries of a micro-square array was carried out for polystyrene solution in acetone by means of swollen polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomeric stamp. The resulting micro-cubic poles were isolated and separable when the added amount of the polystyrene solution was small. Some special distorting micro-patterns in the micro-square array were observed because of shrinkage resulting from the varying evaporation rate of solvent at different places.     

聚合物三维微图案加工的转移微模塑新方法

光刻蚀技术是微电子加工技术中最成功的一种,但由于受到光学衍射等的限制,100nm是光刻蚀的极限,为此人们探索了许多先进的刻蚀技术,如超紫外线刻蚀(EUV)、软X射线刻蚀、电子束刻蚀和聚焦离子束刻蚀(FIB)等,可制作尺寸小于100nm的图形,但普遍存在加工速度慢及成本高等缺点.     

微模塑法制备PMMA/SiO2二氧化硅杂化材料微结构

PMMA/ SiO2 organic-inorganic hybrid sol was synthesized by monomer methyl methacrylate,3-（triethoxysilyl）propylmethacrylate（mol ration is 1: 1）,0.2%（total weight of monomers）initiator azodiisobutyronitrile,solvent tetrahydrofuran and 20%（total weight of the system）tetraethylorthosilicate. PDMS stamp with micropatterns was placed on the hybrid sol film prepared by spin-coating on the clean glass slides. Heat treatment under 120℃ for 2 h with a weak pressure of 1 N makes the sol convert to gel. PMMA/SiO2 hybrid material micropatterns remain on the substrate after being peeled off the stamp. Optical microscope images show stringent pattern fidelity using the micromolding method which also indicates the further application in the micropatterns fabrication.

微接触印刷法制造聚合物多层次准三维立体微结构

Microstructures of various polymers, such as polystyrene and polymethyl methacrylate, were fabricated with microcontact printing, directly using the corresponding dilute polymeric solutions as “inks”, whose concentrations were about 10 g/L. By repeatedly cross-stamping with the inks, multilayer quasi-three-dimensional polymeric microstructures could be obtained. Both optical photographs and SEM photos showed clear microstructures, which were nearly accurate replication of the original patterns in the PDMS stamps. Microlines of poly-bis-(p-toluene sulfonate)-2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol) (PTS) were also fabricated by first processed microcontact printing with solution of the corresponding monomer TS/acetone as ink, then followed with UV polymerization of the monomer micropatterns at solid state. Unlike small molecule processes, the molecules of polymeric inks did not self assembly on the surface of substrates. The formation of polymeric microstructures could be ascribed to the fact that, after volatilization of solvents, polymers tend to stick to the surface of glass substrate which has higher surface free energy (about 72 mN/m), but not to the surface of PDMS stamp which has lower surface free energy (about 20 mN/m). Also the microcontact printing process was studied with optical microscopy, and the main factor--volatilization time of solvent was discussed. The results showed that the volatilization time of solvent is very crucial to the process of polymeric microcontact printing, and with too longer or too shorter volatilization time, the obtained microstructures would become discontinuous or distorted, respectively. For example, with a polystyrene/chloroform solution as ink, the optimal volatilization time was about 15~20 s.

Micro‐Patterning of Polydiacetylene Supramolecules using Micromolding in Capillaries (MIMIC)

Micrometer‐sized polydiacetylene (PDA) vesicle patterns on titanium substrates have been successfully fabricated by using a micromolding in capillaries (MIMIC) technique. The shape and width of the PDA patterns are well matched with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molds used in the MIMIC process. However, the thicknesses of the patterned films are less than the depths of the PDMS molds, which may be a consequence of the poor water wettability of the PDMS and/or low concentrations of the PDA solutions. Heat‐treatment of the solid substrate, immobilized with blue‐phase PDAs, induces a blue‐to‐red‐phase transition and results in the formation of patterned fluorescence images.

     

A soft lithography method to generate arrays of microstructures onto hydrogel surfaces

Materials bearing microscale patterns on the surface have important biomedical applications such as scaffolds in tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, sensors, and actuators. Hydrogels are an attractive class of materials that has excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and tunable mechanical properties that meet the requirements of the aforementioned applications. Generating patterns of intricate microstructures onto the hydrogel surfaces, however, is challenging due to properties such as the crosslinking density, low mechanical strength, adhesion, or chemical incompatibility of hydrogels with various molds. Here, we report the use of a soft lithography technique to successfully transfer arrays of micropillars onto a poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate)‐based hydrogel. The swelling of the hydrogel in solvents, such as phosphate‐buffered saline, deionized water, 60% ethanol, and absolute ethanol, facilitates the reproducible replication of the pattern. Furthermore, the micropillar pattern promotes the attachment of HeLa cells onto this hydrogel which is not inherently adhesive when unpatterned. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Synthesis of Stereoblock Elastomeric Poly(propylene)s Using a (2‐PhInd)2ZrCl2 Metallocene Catalyst in the Presence of Co‐Catalyst Mixtures: Study of Activity and Molecular Weight

The effect of adding various aluminum alkyls (R = Et, i‐Bu) on the polymerization of propylene is studied using a (2‐PhInd)₂ZrCl₂ pre‐catalyst. A mild deactivating effect is found upon addition of TIBA, whereas TEA shows a sharp deactivating effect. Increasing amounts of AlR₃ results in a significant activity increase for TIBA, but an activity plateau for TEA. AlR₃ imposes remarkably different effects on the molecular weight and stereochemical microstructure of polymers. As the TIBA concentration increases, $\overline {M} _{{\rm v}} $ increases at first, growing from 49 000 to 72 000, but subsequently drops to 40 000. For TEA, $\overline {M} _{{\rm v}} $ decreases sharply, plummeting from 49 000 to 17 000. Both TIBA and TEA increase the mmmm pentad content from 7.9 to 23.5% and 17.6%, respectively.
