Abstract

The invention provides a space water droplet positioning substrate. The surface of the substrate is provided with a film with an alternating structure of a hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region, wherein the hydrophilic region can be designed to be of any geometric shape; the hydrophobic region encircles the hydrophilic region, and achieves an effect of limiting a water droplet. According to the invention, the defects that the size of a droplet, a contact angle of the droplet and the like cannot be limited effectively in traditional droplet evaporation are overcome; a novel substrate material is provided for droplet evaporation, is beneficial to fluid management in space, and also can be applied to positioning and quantitative research of biological reaction containers and the like; a preparation method is simple, convenient and effective; the hydrophilic and hydrophobic alternating region structure can be controlled; the size is precise to be micron order, and the space water droplet positioning substrate and the preparation method are suitable for multiple substrate materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a surface modification of a substrate material required for a space droplet evaporation experiment, in particular to a space water-based droplet positioning substrate and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Smart material is a new type of composite material developed rapidly in the 1990s. Its achievements since its development and its influence and penetration in various fields have always attracted attention. Materials whose physical properties and structures change by infiltration on the solid surface are important smart materials. The wetting property of solid surface refers to the wettability of liquid to solid. This property is divided into hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. If the surface wetting angle of a solid material is greater than 65°, the surface of the material is hydrophobic; otherwise, the wetting angle is less than 65°, indicating that The surface of the material is hydrophilic. The m...
