preparation example Construction

[0036] The irregular microgel preparation method based on the liquid bridge phenomenon provided by the invention, such as figure 1 As shown, there are first and second surface materials 1 and 2 in contact with the hydrogel precursor droplet 3, and the hydrogel precursor droplet 3 that can form a liquid bridge. The height of the stretched or compressed liquid bridge and the first and second surface materials can be adjusted by controlling the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the first and second surface materials in contact with the hydrogel precursor droplet, and the volume size of the hydrogel precursor droplet. The shapes of different shapes of irregular microgels can be regulated. The specific steps are:

[0037] Step 1: Adopt a lifting mechanical platform that can control the tension or compression height of the liquid bridge, fix the first surface material 1 on the liftable end of the lifting mechanical platform, and fix the second surface material 2 on the fixed end...

Abstract

The invention discloses an irregular micro-gel preparation method based on a liquid bridge phenomenon. A height-controllable mechanical lifting platform is adopted, and surface materials with different hydrophilcity/hydrophobicity are fixedly arranged at the fixed end and the liftable end of the mechanical platform respectively. A certain volume of hydro-gel precursor solution is weighed by using a micropipette and is dropwise added between the two surface materials, and the hydro-gel precursor drops are stretched or compressed to form a liquid bridge. By adjusting the shapes of contact parts between the two surface materials and the drops, the material characteristics and the spacing between the two surfaces, liquid bridges with different target shapes can be obtained. The hydro-gel precursor drops with different characteristics can be solidified by using different physical and chemical cross-linking methods. The irregular micro-gel preparation method is simple, convenient and rapid, and is not limited by the materials; the shape is controllable; high-throughput and internal gradient liquid bridges can be directly formed by virtue of simple technical improvement; the irregular micro-gel preparation method is quite potential, and provides powerful support for preparation of a tissue engineering base structure unit in the future.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microgel preparation, in particular to a method for preparing irregular microgel based on liquid bridge phenomenon. Background technique [0002] At present, microgels have been widely used in drug delivery, tissue engineering, biosensing, biological barcoding and other fields. The shape of a microgel, as an important parameter, can significantly affect its function. In order to better simulate the microstructural repeating units of different shapes that exist in abundance in nature, irregular microgels are an ideal solution. In fact, the human body itself has many irregular repeating structural units, such as liver, kidney, and lung. There are a large number of irregular repeating units, and through certain combinations, complex functions are realized. Similarly, constructing a precisely designed microgel matrix can be beneficial for many biological applications. [0003] Currently, many methods have ...
