[0062] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a method for manufacturing a micro - nano injection needle based on a stretched material includes the following steps:
[0063] Step 1, obtaining a micro - nano injection needle bottom plate and a micro - nano injection needle cover plate;
[0064] Step 1a, obtaining the micro - nano injection needle bottom plate by pouring the polymer solution 8 into the micro - nano injection needle convex mold;
[0065] Among them, the preparation method of the micro - nano injection needle convex mold includes the following steps:
[0066] Step 1a1: Print photoresist on substrate 1 - 21 to obtain Line 1, and obtain substrate 1 - 21 with nano - ridges 4 through the stretching method. Specifically, Line 1 includes micro - ridge 1. The stretching method uses the heat - stretching method, which includes: heating substrate 1 - 21 printed with Line 1, and then stretching the heated substrate 1 - 21 to drive the stretching of Line 1 until Line 1 on substrate 1 - 21 is stretched into nano - ridge 4. Further, the heating temperature of substrate 1 - 21 is 110 - 130 °C, the stretching force is 5 - 30 N, the stretching time is 8 - 15 s, and nano - ridge 4 is a nano - ridge with a size below 100 nm. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the stretching method includes: when substrate 1 - 21 is at room temperature, the stretching force is 2 - 50 N, the stretching time is 2 - 10 s, and nano - ridge 4 is a nano - ridge with a size below 100 nm. Further, in the present invention, by selecting different stretching materials as the preparation materials for substrate 1 - 21, the heat - stretching method or the room - temperature stretching method in the stretching method is correspondingly adopted. The stretching materials include: thermoplastics (which can be stretched by heating, such as PMMA, PET, etc.), characteristics: softening after heating, plastically stretchable (irreversible deformation), and shaping after cooling. Or, the stretching materials include: elastomers (which can be elastically stretched at room temperature, such as PDMS, rubber, TPE / TPU, etc.); characteristics: reversibly stretchable at room temperature (elastic deformation), with strong resilience. Or, the stretching materials include: flexible thermoplastics (which can be plastically stretched at room temperature, such as LDPE food wrap, PVC sealing film, PC film, etc.); characteristics: can be extended and stretched at room temperature, but it is irreversible plastic deformation (no resilience). Even further, the photoresist itself has a certain viscosity; the adhesion strength of the substrate is improved by performing oxygen plasma treatment on substrate 1 - 21, thereby improving the bonding force between the substrate and the printing material; the surface tension mainly affects the width of the line. For example, it can be in a spread - out shape or a three - dimensional cylindrical shape; so for the actual experiment itself, the photoresist can form nano - ridge 4 under the stretching of the stretching method. And the parameter requirements of the photoresist of Line 1 in the present invention include: the viscosity range is 5 - 5000 cP; the surface tension range is 20 - 45 mN / m.
[0067] Then, print photoresist on substrate 1 - 21 with nano - ridges 4 to obtain Line 2. Specifically, Line 2 includes micro - ridge 2 - 5 connected to Line 1 and an outer - contour pattern surrounding micro - ridge 1 and micro - ridge 2 - 5; obtain substrate 1 - 21 with micro - nano - ridges. More specifically, micro - ridge 2 - 5 includes micro - ridges printed after nano - ridge 4 with a width of 30 - 50 μm and 70 - 100 μm.
[0068] Then, the substrate 21 with micro-nano ridges is cured and hardened to obtain a micro-nano injection needle convex mold. Specifically, the curing and hardening process includes the following steps: placing the substrate 21 with micro-nano ridges on a horizontal hot plate for pre-baking, photolithography, and hardening to obtain a micro-nano injection needle convex mold. Further, in the curing and hardening process, the pre-baking time is 15 - 30 min, the pre-baking temperature is 60 - 100 °C, the photolithography time is 5 - 10 min, the hardening time of placing on the hot plate is 15 - 30 min, and the hardening temperature is 60 - 100 °C. Hardening can improve the adhesion between the photoresist and the substrate 21.
[0069] Step 1a2, pouring a polymer solution 8 into the micro-nano injection needle convex mold to obtain a micro-nano injection needle bottom plate; it includes the following steps:
[0070] Step 1a2.1, performing sealing drying and hydrophobic treatment on the micro-nano injection needle convex mold. Specifically, in step 1a2.1, the micro-nano injection needle convex mold is placed in a sealed drying tower with an atmosphere of 1 - 5 ml trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) for sealing drying, and the hydrophobic treatment time is 10 - 20 min.
[0071] Step 1a2.2, pouring the polymer solution 8 into the micro-nano injection needle convex mold.
[0072] Step 1a2.3, placing the micro-nano injection needle convex mold with the poured polymer solution 8 in an oven for curing. Specifically, in step 1a2.3, the micro-nano injection needle convex mold with the poured polymer solution 8 is placed in a vacuum chamber, keeping the air pressure in the vacuum chamber below 10 Pa for 1 - 2 h to remove the bubbles in the polymer solution 8 and fill the micro-nano injection needle convex mold pattern, and then placed on a static table for 20 - 30 min; then the micro-nano injection needle convex mold with the poured polymer solution 8 is placed in an oven for curing, the oven temperature is 60 - 80 °C, and the baking time is 2 - 4 h.
[0073] Step 1a2.4, demolding the cured micro-nano injection needle convex mold with the poured polymer solution 8 and trimming its outer shape to obtain a micro-nano injection needle bottom plate. Specifically, after cooling the cured micro-nano injection needle convex mold with the poured polymer solution 8 to room temperature, it is taken out for demolding, and a coating tool is used to cut and trim the outer shape to obtain a micro-nano injection needle bottom plate.
[0074] Step 1b, obtaining a micro-nano injection needle cover plate by pouring a polymer solution 8 into the micro-nano injection needle cover plate mold.
[0075] Among them, the preparation method of the micro-nano injection needle cover plate mold includes the following steps:
[0076] The photoresist is printed on the cleaned substrate 22 by electrohydrodynamic printing, and then placed on a horizontal hot plate and heated for 15 - 30 min at a controlled temperature of 60 - 100 °C. Then, photolithography is performed for 5 - 10 min, and it is placed on the hot plate for hard baking for 15 - 30 min at a temperature of 60 - 100 °C to obtain the micro-nano injection needle cover mold. Hard baking can improve the adhesion between the photoresist and the substrate 22.
[0077] The micro-nano injection needle cover is obtained by pouring the polymer solution 8 into the micro-nano injection needle cover mold, including the following steps:
[0078] The micro-nano injection needle cover mold is placed in a sealed drying tower with a trimethylsiloxane atmosphere of 1 - 5 ml for hydrophobic treatment for 10 - 20 min. The prepared polymer solution 8 is poured onto the micro-nano injection needle cover mold, and then the micro-nano injection needle cover mold with the polymer solution 8 poured on it is placed in a vacuum chamber with a pressure below 10 Pa for 1 - 2 h to remove the air bubbles in the polymer solution 8 in the micro-nano injection needle cover mold and fill the pouring cavity of the micro-nano injection needle cover mold with the polymer solution 8. Subsequently, it is placed on a static table for 20 - 30 min; then it is placed in an oven for curing, the oven temperature is 60 - 80 °C, and the baking time is 2 - 4 h; then after cooling to room temperature, it is taken out for demolding, and the outer shape is corrected with a coating tool to obtain the micro-nano injection needle cover.
[0079] Step 2, the micro-nano injection needle bottom plate and the micro-nano injection needle cover are aligned and bonded; the micro-nano injection needle is obtained. Specifically, it includes the following steps:
[0080] The micro-nano injection needle bottom plate and the micro-nano injection needle cover are respectively treated with oxygen plasma, the treatment power is 15 - 25 W, and the treatment time is 20 - 30 s;
[0081] The treated micro-nano injection needle bottom plate and the micro-nano injection needle cover are aligned and bonded to seal the micro-nano channels on the micro-nano injection needle bottom plate.
[0082] More specifically, the substrate 21 and / or the substrate 22 is one of PMMA film, PET film, PVP film, sealing film, PDMS film, PC film, PP film, PE film, PVC film, PS film, SERS thin film, hydrogel film.
[0083] More specifically, the photoresist used for printing the first line and / or the second line is BN photoresist.
[0084] More specifically, the photoresist used for printing the first line and / or the second line can be replaced by one of PDMS, PEO, hydrogel, liquid metal, rubber, graphene.
[0085] In the present invention, the biggest feature lies in its strong inclusiveness and flexibility. As long as the substrate material has strong plasticity and can be infinitely stretched, a pattern of the target scale can be obtained. However, since the substrate will break when stretched to the limit, the size also depends on the choice of the substrate. In the present invention, most of the printing is at the sub-micron level, which is convenient for quickly obtaining nano-scale lines. Example 1
[0086] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a method for manufacturing a micro-nano injection needle based on a stretchable material includes the following steps:
[0087] Step 1: Obtain a micro-nano injection needle bottom plate and a micro-nano injection needle cover plate;
[0088] Step 1a: Obtain the micro-nano injection needle bottom plate by pouring a polymer solution 8 into a micro-nano injection needle convex mold;

Print a photoresist on the substrate 1 21 with a nano-ridge 4 to obtain a line 2. Cure and harden the substrate 1 21 with a micro-nano ridge to obtain a micro-nano injection needle convex mold.
[0091] Specifically, the substrate 1 21 is a PMMA substrate. Before printing the photoresist on the PMMA substrate to obtain the line 1, the substrate 1 21 is ultrasonically cleaned in deionized water for 15 min, where the ultrasonic power is 70 W. In this embodiment, the deionized water used is anhydrous ethanol. Finally, the substrate 1 21 is dried with a nitrogen gas gun and placed on a hot plate at 80 °C to dry the substrate 1 21 and remove the excess moisture on the surface of the substrate 1 21. And place it on a hot plate at 80 °C to dry and remove the moisture. When printing the photoresist to obtain the line 1, the cleaned PMMA substrate is placed on the printing table, and the printing needle 3 of the printing mechanism is used to print the line 1 on the PMMA substrate. The line 1 includes a micro-ridge 1, and the arrangement structure of the micro-ridge 1 is an array of BN photoresist with a micro-ridge 1 of 1-2 um.
[0092] Specifically, in the step of obtaining the substrate 21 with the nano-ridges 4 by the stretching method, the stretching method specifically includes: placing the substrate 21 printed with the first line on a stretcher, heating the heating pad to 110 °C, and placing the heated heating pad under the substrate 21 (i.e., the PMMA substrate) printed with the first line (i.e., the BN photoresist micro-ridge), heating the substrate 21 printed with the first line, the heating temperature of the substrate 21 is 110 °C, and then using the stretcher to stretch the heated substrate 21, thereby driving the first line to stretch, the stretching force is 5 N, and the stretching time is 8 s, until the first line on the substrate 21 is stretched into the nano-ridges 4. Further, the nano-ridges 4 are nano-ridges below 100 nm.
[0093] Specifically, the second line includes the second micro-ridge 5 connected to the first line, and the outer contour pattern surrounding the first micro-ridge 1 and the second micro-ridge 5; obtaining the substrate 21 with micro-nano ridges.

Further, in this embodiment, an electrohydrodynamic printing method is used to print a 30-μm BN photoresist micro-ridge on the basis of the array nano-ridges; the printing parameters are a voltage of 1500 V and a working distance of 450 μm.

An electrohydrodynamic printing method is used to print a 30-μm BN photoresist micro-ridge on the basis of the 70-μm BN photoresist micro-ridge. The parameters are a voltage of 1500 V and a working distance of 450 μm.

[0169] The present invention directly obtains the micro-nano injection needle convex mold by using two processes of stretching and printing; finally, the micro-nano injection needle is obtained by casting and replicating the micro-nano injection needle convex mold pattern, and bonding is performed.
[0170] The present invention obtains a micron pattern by printing any material with high ductility onto a thermoplastic or flexible substrate, and obtains a nano pattern by stretching and shrinking the micron pattern; then, the injection needle profile is printed again using the printing technology to complete the manufacturing of the micro-nano injection needle convex mold.
[0171] The steps of the present invention are simple, the process is environmentally friendly, the cost is low, the efficiency is high, there are no dangerous experimental links, and the requirements for experimental equipment and experimental environment are low. It belongs to a flexible and simple micro-nano manufacturing technology.
[0172] Although the present invention is a manufacturing method based on thermoplastic materials, if lines are printed on a flexible substrate, it is still possible to reduce micron lines to nano lines depending on the high elasticity of the flexible substrate, with high selectivity and flexible controllability.
[0173] The above specific embodiments are specific supports for the proposed solution idea of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention cannot be limited thereby.
