TiO2微图纹结构的制作

The representative soft lithographic techniques are used,which are micromolding and microtransfer molding methods to fabricate the micro array patterned titanium dioxide on glass substrates. Firstly titanium dioxide sol was synthesized by sol-gel method using tetrabutyl titanate as the precursor,then the pre-patterned poly（dimethylsiloxane） elastomeric stamp was used to mold the TiO2 sol on glass substrate by micromolding and microtransfer molding methods,micro patterned TiO2 sol was gelled at 70℃ with 0. 5 N pressure applied on the PDMS stamp,further heat treatment of TiO2 gel by annealing at 550℃ for 2 h produced the TiO2 microstructure. The TiO2 microstructure was observed by the optical microscope and the optical micrographs demonstrated the satisfactory yield and fidelity of pattern transfer by micromolding method and microtransfer method. The effect of gel temperature,the pressure applied on the PDMS stamp and the silicone mold on the fidelity and yield of TiO2 microstructure are discussed.     

MICROMOLDING ON CURVED SURFACES WITH THERMOPLASTICS

Microstructures were produced on curved surfaces and micro-protrusions by using direct micromolding with fourthermoplastic polymers. This method is simpler and more convenient than micromolding with liquid prepolymer or using theμTM method. By repeated molding, crossed structures were produced with a stamp prepared only with lines. The processingvariables including the softening temperature of the polymers and heating time were discussed. The result shows that theoptimal molding temperature is preferably slightly higher than the melting temperature of the thermoplastic polymers, atwhich polymers are in the critical states of being melted. This method can be applied to many polymers except those with high softening temperatures or high rate of shrinkage upon temperature change.

Preparation of orthogonally functionalized surface using micromolding in capillaries technique for the control of cellular adhesion

This study presents a simple method for the fabrication of an orthogonal surface that can be applied for cell patterning without the need to immobilize specific adhesive peptides, proteins, or extracellular matrix (ECM) for cell attachment. Micromolding in capillaries (MIMIC) produced two distinctive regions. One region contained poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(d,l-lactide) diblock copolymer (PEG–PLA) designed to provide a biological barrier to the nonspecific binding of proteins and fibroblast cells. The other region was coated with polyelectrolyte (PEL) to promote the adhesion of biomolecules including proteins and cells. Resistance to the adsorption of proteins increased with the length of PEG and PLA chains because the longer PEG chain increased the PEG layer thickness and the longer PLA chain induced stronger interaction with the PEL surface. The PEG5k–PLA2.5k (20 mg/ml) was the most efficient candidate for the prevention of protein adhesion among the PEG–PLA copolymers examined. The orthogonal functionality of prepared surfaces having PEL regions and background PEG–PLA regions resulted in rapid patterning of biomolecules. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-tagged bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) and fibroblast cells successfully adhered to the exposed PEL surfaces. Although methods for cell patterning generally require an adhesive protein layer on the desired area, these fabricated surfaces without adhesive proteins provide a gentle microenvironment for cells. In addition, our proposed approach could easily control patterns, sizes, and shapes at micron scale.     

Analysis of filling distance in cylindrical microfeatures for microinjection molding

In the injection molding of plastic components with cylindrical microfeatures, the ability for the polymer melt to flow into the microchannels is a crucial factor for successful molding. Penetration distance of the polymer melt into the microstructure depends on several factors as the melt flow rate and the cooling rate in the microfeatures, which depends on the materials and geometric dimensions. In this study, a simplified analytical model was constructed to estimate the filling distance into the cylindrical microchannels. The effects of the mold temperature, injection rate, heat transfer coefficient, and microchannel dimension on the filling distance were investigated. The filling distance decreases dramatically with respect to the decrease of the channel radius. In molding of plastic components with cylindrical microfeatures as those analyzed in this study, decrease of the part thickness could also increase the filling distance in the microfeatures.
