Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material preparation, and in particular to a micron-scale hydrogel microarray and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Hydrogels are cross-linked polymers that can absorb and retain large amounts of water. They possess high hydration properties and a three-dimensional microstructure similar to natural tissue, making them ideal materials for applications in energy, bioelectronics, and biomedicine. They are widely used in the fabrication of supercapacitors, biosensors, and medical electrodes. The design and fabrication of microarrays with hydrogel surface patterns are essential for realizing these functional applications. For example, Professor Ryan Donnelly has invented a hydrogel microneedle patch that can be applied to the skin for transdermal delivery of esketamine, promising treatments for conditions such as major depressive disorder, bipolar depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
[0003] To date, many methods for preparing hydrogel microarrays have been reported. Among them, the template method is the main method for preparing hydrogel microarrays because it can accurately control the morphology and size of the microarray. However, due to the flexibility and high water content of hydrogels, their fracture energy is often less than 100 J·m -2 Therefore, the current size of microarrays that can be prepared using template methods is mostly around a few hundred micrometers to a few millimeters. When the size of hydrogel microarrays is gradually reduced to the micron level, the binding force between the hydrogel and the substrate will be much greater than its fracture energy, making it difficult to obtain a regular and complete hydrogel microarray. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first aspect of a method for preparing a micron-scale hydrogel microarray, the method comprising the following steps:
[0006] coating a hydrogel precursor solution on a microarray substrate to obtain a preform;
[0007] The preform is subjected to a first treatment to form a hydrogel from the hydrogel precursor solution, and then subjected to a first vacuum drying to obtain a formed body;
[0008] The formed body is hydrated and annealed to obtain a micron-scale hydrogel microarray.
[0009] The second aspect of the present invention provides a micron-scale hydrogel microarray prepared by the aforementioned preparation method.
[0010] Through the above technical solution, the beneficial technical effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:
[0011] The present invention reduces the interfacial bonding force between the hydrogel and the substrate through hydration and annealing treatment, thereby achieving the preparation of regular and complete micron-scale hydrogel microarrays. The preparation method of the present invention has the characteristics of simplicity, high repeatability and strong operability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0083] (4) Preparation of the microarray silicon wafer substrate:
[0084] A prismatic microarray with a line width of 5 μm and a gap of 10 μm is manufactured on a 4-inch silicon wafer by using a photoelectrochemical etching technology. After the microarray silicon wafer substrate is coarsely washed, it is cleaned by plasma for 10 min, and then is ultrasonically cleaned in acetone, ethanol and deionized water for 30 min each time and dried for standby use.
[0085] (5) Preparation of the conductive hydrogel precursor solution:

[0088] (6) Preparation of the hydrogel microarray:

[0090] The silicon substrate loaded with the hydrogel is placed in a vacuum drying oven at 70°C for 2 h to reduce the binding force between the hydrogel microarray and the silicon substrate by continuous hydration and annealing treatment. The above method is repeated for several times until the hydrogel microarray automatically falls off, and then a hydrogel microarray as shown in FIG. 1 is obtained. Figure 4The regular and complete hydrogel microarray shown in FIG. 3 is shown. The integrity of the hydrogel microarray was 91% after testing.
[0091] Comparative Example 1
[0092] The micron-scale pyramid-shaped polyaniline conductive hydrogel microarray was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the hydrogel microarray was directly peeled off without hydration and annealing treatment to obtain the following: Figure 5 The hydrogel microarray shown in FIG. 3 was tested to determine the integrity of the hydrogel microarray to be 56%.
[0093] The results of Examples 1 and 2 show that the method of the present invention can be used not only for preparing polyaniline hydrogel microarrays but also for preparing polypyrrole hydrogel microarrays, indicating that the method has good applicability.
[0094] It can be seen from the results of Examples 1, 3 and 4 that the method of the present invention can be used to prepare micron-scale hydrogel microarrays of different shapes.
[0095] The results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 demonstrate that due to the strong bonding between the hydrogel microarray and the silicon wafer substrate, direct peeling without annealing cannot yield a regular, complete hydrogel microarray. Therefore, annealing can effectively reduce the bonding between the hydrogel and the silicon wafer substrate, resulting in a regular, complete morphology for the hydrogel microarray peeled after annealing.
