Abstract

The invention relates to a thermosetting resin micro-fluidic chip and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a prepolymer: injecting liquid resin into a mold with a microstructure on the inner surface, heating, keeping the constant temperature for preset time, and taking out to obtain a resin prepolymer with a microstructure on the surface as a cover plate; injecting liquid resin into a mold with a smooth inner surface, heating, keeping constant temperature for preset time, and taking out to obtain a resin prepolymer with a smooth surface as a substrate; attaching the surface, with the microstructure, of the cover plate to the substrate, heating and keeping constant temperature for preset time, so that the substrate and the cover plate react and are bonded to obtain a micro-fluidic chip crude product; and carrying out finish machining on the micro-fluidic chip crude product to obtain a micro-fluidic chip finished product. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the thermosetting engineering resin is used as a raw material, a thermal bonding process with a simple process is developed by controlling a curing process of the resin, and batch production of the thermosetting micro-fluidic chip with high dimensional precision is realized.
