Example Embodiment

[0036] Example 1

[0037] A method for preparing liquid metal microparticles with a core-shell structure includes the following steps:

[0038] 1) Take 250g of tetrahydrofuran and 50g of polyvinyl chloride powder and place them in a 500ml beaker, and use a mechanical stirrer to stir for 30 minutes at a stirring speed of 300rpm to prepare a polymer solution;

[0039] 2) Put 20g of liquid metal (Ga 75.5 In 24.5 ) Drop into step 1) polymer solution, place it in a vortex mixer that can spontaneously generate mechanical vibration, and shake for 45 minutes;

[0040] 3) The polymer solution mixed with the liquid metal is extruded into water through a filter membrane with a particle diameter of 150 nm. At this time, the polymer solution will solidify when exposed to water, thereby enveloping the liquid metal core, so that liquid metal microdroplets with a core-shell structure with uniform particle size can be obtained.

Abstract

The invention relates to liquid metal microparticles with core-shell structures and a preparation method and application thereof. Each liquid metal microparticle comprises a core formed by liquid metal and a shell completely wrapping the outer layer of the core, wherein the shell is prepared from an organic high-molecular polymer. The preparation method comprises the steps that the organic high-molecular polymers are dissolved in an organic solvent to form a polymer solution; liquid metal is dropwise added into the polymer solution to disperse the polymer solution into micro-nano particles; and the micro-nano particles are extruded into water through a micropore structure, and thus the liquid metal microparticles with the core-shell structures are obtained after standing. The preparation method of the liquid metal microparticles is convenient and rapid, the sizes of the prepared microparticles can reach the nanometer grade and are uniform and stable, and the problem that the liquid metal microparticles can coagulate again is completely solved. The liquid metal microparticles with the core-shell structures can be quickly prepared in a large scale, and the liquid metal microparticleswith the core-shell structures can be applied to the fields of phase-change microcapsules, nanometer fluids, drug-carrying robots and the like and have excellent application prospects at the industrialization aspect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of liquid metal microparticles, in particular to a liquid metal microparticle with a core-shell structure and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Gallium-based liquid metals at room temperature are attracting extensive attention due to their low melting point, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, flowability, and non-toxicity. Micro-nano-scale liquid metal combines the dual advantages of liquid metal and micro-nano scale, and has made some progress in the fields of micro-nano drug-loaded robots, micro-nano sensors, micro-nano fluid heat transfer, and microfluidics. In addition, due to its unique structural characteristics, the core-shell structure integrates the properties of the inner and outer materials and complements each other's shortcomings. It has become an important research direction in the scientific community in recent years. More importantly, sub...
