Problems solved by technology

Recently, some research groups have developed some more effective methods to prepare three-dimensional photonic crystals, such as preparing wood pile structures by layer-by-layer stacking method, or using monodisperse microspheres to prepare three-dimensional regular structures by self-assembly method. However, it is very difficult to use this method. Time-consuming and complicated process
In 2006, J. Moon's research group used an inkjet printer to prepare a photonic crystal microarray with bright colors for the first time, but its printing is limited to two-dimensional space, and it is difficult to prepare a photonic crystal microarray with a high dielectric ratio or a suitable network topology. 3D photonic crystal

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing photonic crystals through 3D (Three-Dimensional) printing. The method comprises the following steps of preparing macromolecule raw materials for 3D printing by using monodisperse colloidal particles, layering a three-dimensional solid model of photonic crystals into a plurality of two-dimensional patterns, printing the two-dimensional patterns layer by layer in sequence on a substrate and curing layer by layer to prepare three-dimensional photonic crystals which having high dielectric ratios or are suitable for network topology structures. Compared with a current preparation method of the photonic crystals, the method is quick and convenient, lo in investment costs of devices, simple in process, energy-saving and environmentally friendly and short in consumed time, and three-dimensional structure shapes of the prepared photonic crystals are diversified and extensive. The method is an ideal manner of preparing special-purpose photonic crystals in the future. The method is capable of realizing batch production; the prepared photonic crystals can be widely applicable to the scientific research and life of optical devices, tissue culture frames, super lyophobic liquid surface, anti-counterfeiting marks and ornaments, so that the photonic crystals are wide in market prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of preparation of photonic crystals, in particular to a method for preparing photonic crystals by 3D printing. Background technique [0002] In recent years, by simulating the micro-nano structures of blue butterfly wings and volcanic opals, people have successfully developed one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional photonic crystals by using precision machining methods and colloidal self-assembly methods. The preparation method and technology of the one-dimensional and two-dimensional photonic crystals are quite mature, and related products have been widely used. The preparation of three-dimensional photonic crystals is far behind the preparation of one-dimensional and two-dimensional photonic crystals. Even in the semiconductor industry, there is no method that can be used for reference to manufacture three-dimensional photonic crystals. Recently, some research groups have developed some mor...
