Abstract

多尺度表面结构引起了越来越多的兴趣, 因为一些潜在的应用在表面设备。然而, 目前在这一领域存在的一个挑战是采用轻便、经济高效和高通量的方法制造混合微纳米结构。为了克服这些挑战, 本文提出了一种用阳极氧化铝 (氧化铝) 过滤器和纳米纤维的蒸发自聚过程来制造多尺度结构的协议。不像以前试图理顺纳米纤维的尝试, 我们展示了一种独特的制造方法, 多尺度聚合纳米纤维的高纵横比。此外, 研究了这些结构在各种液体中的表面形貌和润湿性, 以利于它们在多功能表面的应用。

Introduction

纳米颗粒、纳米管和纳米纤维等纳米结构已引起科学界的关注, 因为它们在各种应用中表现出独特的特性, 包括电子、生物医学、光学和表面工程1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8。特别是, 纳米纤维广泛应用于可伸缩和透明电极9, 耐磨传感器10,11, 互连12,13, 和纳米光学应用14. 在制造纳米结构的各种方法中, 如溶胶-凝胶方法、自组装、光刻和复制15161718, 1920, 使用模板进行直接复制目前被认为是一种有希望的方法, 因为它简单、经济高效, 适用于各种可固化材料2122,23,24,25,26

由于其多尺度结构具有大量的纳米孔隙和微尺度高度, 因此, 氧化铝被广泛用作制备纳米纤维和纳米管的模板, 具有高长宽比272829,30. 然而, 由于表面张力在如此高的纵横比, 纤维容易地聚集31,32,33。现有的研究已经证明, 长宽比大于15:1 的纳米纤维不直立, 而是聚合, 而比不到5:1 的人则单独隔离, 没有聚集33,34。毛细管力和表面张力对氧化铝的去除起着重要的作用, 蚀刻是碳纤维制造过程中的工艺之一。当长宽比增加时, 纤维间的表面张力会使它们相互靠近, 导致聚集。一些研究集中在防止这种聚合的方法35, 这在聚合物和金属纳米纤维中特别被观察到。其中, 碳纤维表面的水化可以减少团聚, 因为当液体占据纳米纤维之间的空隙时, 表面张力就会减小。此外, 冻干法还可以降低纤维间的表面张力, 从而减少聚集。然而, 尽管作出了各种努力, 高纵横比的纳米纤维的矫直仍然是一个挑战。

为此, 我们报告了一种独特的方法来制造复杂的碳纤维的多尺度结构, 利用聚集现象的积极方式。在这里, 碳纤维结构是用氧化铝过滤器和聚氨酯丙烯酸酯 (PUA) 型树脂, 粘度为 257.4 cP。在 uv 纳米压印 (uv-零) 进行后, 模具用氢氧化钠溶液蚀刻。为了表征所提出的多尺度结构, 我们研究了聚合纳米纤维样品的模式行为和表面润湿性, 如自组装单层涂层和紫外线臭氧处理等表面处理。.此外, 我们建议, 多孔表面可以简单地转化为一个光滑的表面使用润滑剂注入过程。

Protocol

1. 利用氧化铝过滤器制备纳米微尺度结构表面 (图 1) 购买一个氧化铝过滤器的孔径大小, 高度, 直径为200毫微米, 60 µm, 和25毫米, 分别。 1.2. 清洗具有100微米厚度的聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯 (PET) 膜的表面, 使用丙酮与99.8% 和异丙醇 (IPA) 99.9% 为5分钟, 并使用气枪完全干燥3分钟。 将 PET 薄膜放置在无污染物的平坦表面上, 并添加0.1 毫升的 UV 固化聚氨酯丙烯酸?…

Representative Results

用氧化铝过滤器作为印迹模, 演示了一种快速、简便的制备多尺度纳米微混合结构的方法。整个过程花费了30分钟 (图 4)。据指出, 在使用氢氧化钠进行蚀刻过程后, 由于表面张力引起的聚集碳纤维装配, 结果表面呈现出与原氧化铝过滤器相似的不透明颜色。进一步, EDX 分析的结果证实了氧化铝过滤器被湿化学蚀刻完全去除 (图 3)?…

Discussion

制备自聚集碳纤维总成的关键步骤是确保在胶辊上应用树脂时, 脆性氧化铝过滤器不会断裂。事实上, 应该确保氧化铝过滤器在蚀刻步骤之前的任何一点都不会断裂。由于氧化铝过滤器直径为25毫米, 基体的尺寸约为 30 x 30 毫米。

自聚集碳纤维组件允许我们通过适当的表面处理提供各种功能表面。在印迹后, 原表面是亲水性的, 但经涂膜后, 受紫外线臭氧处理和表面能量的变化, ?…
