The matrix resin used in this embodiment is glycerol type epoxy resin, and the curing agent is triethanolamine.

[0050] Step 3: Fabrication of cover and substrate. Infuse the liquid resin and pour the resin into the mold. The resin is solidified and molded by heating the mold to form a micro-sized flow channel structure and a smooth surface. The heating temperature is 80°C and the heating time is 3 minutes. Stop heating and naturally cool to room temperature to ensure that the resin solidifies and stays in a gel state, and then open the mold. The prepolymer cover sheet and base sheet were obtained, and the Shore hardness of the prepolymer was about 15.

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.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing microfluidic chips, in particular to a thermosetting resin microfluidic chip and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Microfluidic chips refer to chips with micron-sized channels, which are mainly used in the fields of biochemical analysis, material preparation and organic synthesis.
