Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of material surface modification and biosynthesis, specifically to a superhydrophobic surface for DNA synthesis and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The phosphoramide process is currently the most widely used technology in DNA synthesis. This synthesis process relies not only on hydrophilic surfaces to promote product adsorption but also on hydrophobic surfaces to ensure the accuracy of the synthesis process. The conventional method for superhydrophobic surface treatment in existing DNA synthesis devices is to coat the substrate surface with fluorinated compounds to form a superhydrophobic coating (CN118022867). However, fluorides are difficult to degrade, causing serious environmental pollution. Given the environmental hazards of fluorinated compounds, the European Union introduced legislation restricting fluorinated compounds in 2023, further promoting the development of fluorine-free superhydrophobic coating technology. Considering that DNA synthesis involves life safety, especially the potential harm of fluorinated compounds to human health, DNA synthesis devices with fluorine-free superhydrophobic coatings have broad application prospects. Furthermore, the degradation of hydrophobic properties during use can significantly reduce the yield of DNA synthesis, thus affecting DNA synthesis efficiency. Therefore, the durability of superhydrophobic surfaces is a key factor affecting DNA synthesis efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0114] Results Analysis

[0115] Examples 1 to 3 constructed hydrophobic microstructures on stainless steel surfaces and coated them with hydrophobic resin coatings and silane hydrophobic coatings; Examples 4 to 6 constructed hydrophobic microstructures on polystyrene surfaces and coated them with hydrophobic resin coatings and silane hydrophobic coatings; Comparative Example 1 used stainless steel as the substrate material and only coated it with a hydrophobic resin coating; Comparative Example 2 used stainless steel as the substrate material and only coated it with a silane hydrophobic coating; Examples 1, 3, and 4 first applied a hydrophobic layer, while Examples 2, 5, and 6 constructed patterned hydrophobic structures and then applied a hydrophobic layer.

[0116] According to Table 1, the contact angles of the hydrophobic surfaces obtained in Examples 1, 2, and 3 are 165°, 153°, and 160°, respectively, and the roll-off angles are 4°, 7°, and 4°, respectively. The contact angles of the hydrophobic surfaces obtained in Examples 4, 5, and 6 are 168°, 158°, and 157°, respectively, and the roll-off angles are 4°, 6°, and 5°, respectively. Comparing the overall hydrophobic properties of the hydrophobic surfaces obtained in Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, the hydrophobic effect is slightly better when the substrate material is polymer than when it is stainless steel. However, when using the same substrate material, the superhydrophobic surface obtained by first coating a hydrophobic layer and then constructing a hydrophobic microstructure has a larger contact angle and a smaller roll-off angle, resulting in a better hydrophobic effect. The contact angles of the hydrophobic surfaces obtained in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are 115° and 130°, respectively, and the roll-off angles are 18° and 13°, respectively. It can be seen that the superhydrophobic surface prepared by the method described in this invention has superior hydrophobic effects, significantly better than the hydrophobic surface treated only with a hydrophobic coating.

[0117] In summary, this application provides a hydrophobic surface and its preparation method, which organically combines a superhydrophobic coating with a patterned hydrophobic surface. The structure is simple and highly reliable, which not only significantly improves the hydrophobic properties of the surface, but also has good biocompatibility.

[0118] The above embodiments are only used to help understand the methods, principles and core ideas of the present invention; for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
