Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of micro / nano motor fabrication technology, specifically to a multi-stage propulsion motor with sensing function and its fabrication method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, micro / nanomotors have shown great potential in the field of biosensing. Compared with other biosensors, such as electrochemical, mass-based, or optical biosensors, motor-based biosensors can achieve autonomous movement at the micro / nanoscale by converting other forms of energy into kinetic energy. This allows micromechanicals to achieve internal mixing within samples, using their movement speed and distance as sensing signals for in-situ detection of untreated samples without the need for cumbersome cleaning and separation steps. They have been gradually applied to the detection of biomolecules. The introduction of micro / nanomotors enables rapid, simple, sensitive, and visual detection of biomolecules, which has positive implications for the field of biosensing. Furthermore, after surface functionalization, micro / nanomotors, which inherently possess motion capabilities, can also effectively capture and separate target substances in complex biological media. However, current motor-based biosensors suffer from insufficient power and a disconnect between sensing and motion. Therefore, providing a multi-stage propulsion motor with sensing capabilities is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a multi-stage propulsion motor with sensing function and its preparation method, thereby solving the problems of insufficient power and disconnect between sensing and motion in existing motor-type biosensors.

[0004] The technical solution of this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A method for manufacturing a multi-stage propulsion motor with sensing function is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0005] (1) KH and 3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol were subjected to a substitution reaction to obtain 3-hydroxypotassium benzyl alcohol. Then, sulfonated polypropylene glycol was added to carry out a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction to obtain photosensitized polypropylene glycol. Lactic acid was then added to carry out a polymerization reaction to obtain the polymer polylactic acid-3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol-polypropylene glycol.

[0006] (2) Dissolve the polymer polylactic acid-3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol-polypropylene glycol obtained in step (1) in dichloromethane, add peroxide, AgNO3, photoinitiator and spiroxazine, stir evenly, and then perform electrospinning to obtain nanofiber membrane;

[0007] (3) The nanofiber membrane obtained in step (2) is subjected to ultraviolet irradiation for 6-12 hours, dispersed with alcohol, and then the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain a multi-stage propulsion motor with sensing function.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows:

[0009] Furthermore, in step (1), the mass ratio of KH, 3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, sulfonated polypropylene glycol and lactic acid is 0.1-0.2:0.3-0.6:1.5-3:0.4-0.8.

[0010] Furthermore, in step (1), the sulfonated polypropylene glycol is p-toluenesulfonated polypropylene glycol.

[0011] Furthermore, in step (2), the procedure is carried out at room temperature and under no-light conditions.

[0012] Furthermore, in step (2), the mass ratio of the polymer polylactic acid-3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol-polypropylene glycol and dichloromethane is 10-30:100.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (2), the mass ratio of the polymer polylactic acid-3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol-polypropylene glycol, peroxide, AgNO3, photoinitiator and spiroxazine is 1:0.8-1.2:0.8-1.2:0.1-0.4:0.4-1.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (2), the peroxide is Na2O2 and / or K2O2.

[0015] Furthermore, in step (2), the photoinitiator is benzoyl peroxide.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (2), spiroxazine is 1,3,3-trimethylindolinenaphthospiroxazine.

[0017] Furthermore, in step (2), the mixture is stirred for 7-10 hours.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (2), the electrospinning conditions are: humidity 25-35%RH%, spinning receiving distance 10-20cm, spinning voltage 10-20kv, and microfluidic propulsion pump speed 0.1-0.5mL / h.

[0019] The present invention also provides a multi-stage propulsion motor with sensing function prepared by the above method.

[0020] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This invention utilizes the principle that the UV-responsive polymer polylactic acid-m-hydroxybenzyl alcohol-polypropylene glycol (PLA-NB-PPG) undergoes molecular-level fracture upon absorbing sufficient UV irradiation energy. Using this polymer as the spinning solution for electrospinning, the main structure of a nanomotor is prepared by adjusting different spinning conditions. Further, a mixture of peroxides, namely sodium peroxide and / or potassium peroxide (Na2O2 and / or K2O2), a photoinitiator (BPO), silver nitrate (AgNO3), and spiroxazine, is added to electrospinnally prepare a sensing motor with multi-stage propulsion. The motor of this invention features autonomously provided dual power and sensing capabilities, enabling simultaneous sensing of enhanced Raman signals and fluorescence, thus achieving multi-stage propulsion and multiple sensing functions, realizing a new function in the field of motor-based biosensors.

[0022] 2. The motor matrix of this invention is prepared from a UV-responsive fracture polymer, obtained through crack propagation and growth under UV irradiation, resulting in relatively uniform dimensions. Under UV irradiation, AgNO3 inside the motor is reduced to Ag. The primary propulsion of the motor originates from the decomposition of Na2O2 and / or K2O2, simultaneously generating hydrogen peroxide. The secondary propulsion of the motor originates from the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide under Ag catalysis. Na2O2 and / or K2O2 and Ag are embedded in the fibers. The two-stage propulsion motor can induce local fluid convection and vortices. Local fluid convection and vortices enhance the sensing signals of Ag and spiroxazine. The sensing function of Ag is realized through enhanced Raman signal, and the fluorescence signal of spiroxazine is realized through an acidic environment. The movement of the motor can enhance the enrichment of Ag for the enhanced Raman signal, achieving positive feedback of motion to sensing.

[0023] 3. The multi-stage propulsion motor with sensing function provided by the present invention has dual propulsion power sources. The local fluid convection and vortex provided by it enrich the detected substance, making the enhanced Raman signal easy to detect. Attached Figure Description
