Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of spectrum detection technology assistance, relates to a detection device for biochemical samples, and specifically relates to a hydrogel stretching device for infrared spectrum detection. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogel materials are formed by cross-linking of hydrophilic polymer chains in water, and have important applications in tissue engineering, drug release, soft electronics and other fields. Traditional hydrogel materials are very easy to break due to their simple structure, lack of strength and ductility, and their application range is severely limited. Research and development of high-strength and good tensile hydrogels, and their application in biomaterials, wearable devices and other fields, has very good prospects. Understanding the formation and interaction mechanism of hydrogels at the molecular level has become the key to improving the strength and tensile properties of hydrogels. The complex processes involved include electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and host-guest interactions. Infrared spectroscopy technology is the mainstream means to study this type of process, including Fourier infrared spectroscopy, two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy, transient infrared spectroscopy and other technologies, which reflect the molecular interactions of materials during deformation through changes in the frequency shift, coupling and intensity of infrared characteristic peaks. Infrared spectroscopy is extremely sensitive to air humidity. During the spectrum acquisition process, the sample must be placed in a dry and sealed sample chamber to avoid spectral noise caused by air humidity fluctuations.
