Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of amorphous alloy modification, and particularly relates to a metallic glass, a preparation method thereof, and a mold core for injection molding. Background Art

[0002] The injection molding process includes key steps such as injection, filling, holding pressure, cooling, and demolding. By precisely controlling these steps, plastic products with high replication quality can be produced. When the molded product has a micro- or nano-scale structure, it is called micro-injection molding. Micro-injection molding is not only a reduction in product size compared to traditional injection molding, but also has significant differences in equipment, mold design, and molding process.

[0003] Researchers have conducted in-depth studies on the quality of micro-nano structures, focusing on the two processes of filling and demolding. In particular, demolding is the key stage that determines the quality of polymer micro-nano structures in injection molding and has become the focus of research. When the structure is reduced to the micro / nano scale, the surface and interfacial interactions between the polymer and the mold core are significantly enhanced, and some demolding deformations may occur, such as burrs, fractures, and scratches, which will directly affect the performance of micro-injection molding products.

[0004] Metallic glass, also known as amorphous alloy, is an amorphous material with a metallic chemical composition. Among them, bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are ideal mold materials for preparing micro-nano structures. Due to the lack of microscopic limitations caused by crystal structure in bulk metallic glasses, the volume shrinkage rate is low, isotropic, and it is easy to be processed into sizes and structures that are difficult to obtain with traditional metals. However, in the actual application of micro-injection molding of molds, demolding deformation still occurs and needs to be better improved. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Surface modification technology plays a crucial role in the fields of modern materials science and surface engineering, especially in improving the surface properties of materials. The Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) technology has attracted much attention because it can precisely control surface characteristics at the atomic or molecular level. With its nanoscale thickness, highly ordered and stable structure, the self-assembled monolayer can adapt to the adjustability of various substrates with different stiffnesses and shapes, and has become an excellent solid thin-film lubricating material. Such thin films not only have customizable surface properties, but also can be flexibly designed at the molecular level by adjusting the type of end groups, chain length, and molecular structure through a bottom-up design strategy.

[0029] Micro-injection molding is widely used in the preparation of micro-nano structures with high aspect ratios. However, the surfaces of micro-nano structures with high aspect ratios face a series of challenges during the preparation process. In particular, the high surface-to-volume ratio leads to enhanced surface effects, excessive and unbalanced demolding forces, making the demolding process not smooth, resulting in situations such as inability to demold, deformation, or even damage to the micro-nano structure. When the structure size is reduced to the micron or nanometer level, microscopic factors including the surface roughness of the mold may significantly affect the adhesion characteristics at the interface between the polymer and the mold core. At the same time, during the injection molding process, the surface effects caused by the size become significant, leading to defects such as necking, warping, and deformation of the micro-structure. This makes interface adhesion and friction and wear key factors in the preparation of micro-nano structures. Therefore, the study of the tribological properties of micro-nano structure devices is of great significance for improving the yield and reliability, and promoting the high replication rate and high performance preparation of large-area micro-nano structures with high aspect ratios.

[0030] Based on the difficulties in demolding encountered during the manufacturing process of micro-nano structures, such as the large demolding force and unevenness, which lead to mold damage or structural deformation, this application designs a metallic glass and a corresponding preparation method, that is, by modifying a hydrophobic monolayer on the surface of an amorphous alloy substrate to form a hydrophobic coating, so as to improve the performance of the amorphous alloy substrate as a mold core. The specific technical solutions are as follows.

[0031] In a first aspect, an embodiment of this application provides a metallic glass. The metallic glass of the embodiment of this application includes: (1) an amorphous alloy substrate; (2) a monolayer, which is combined on the surface of the amorphous alloy substrate and includes at least one of an organic phosphonic acid molecule and an organic carboxylic acid molecule.

[0032] Based on the modification of this monolayer, the metallic glass of the embodiment of this application can have good surface properties. Specifically, it can effectively reduce the surface free energy and make it have good hydrophobicity. Such a metallic glass has good demolding performance when used in a micro-injection molding mold, and thus can make the injection-molded product have good micro-nano structures.

[0033] In some embodiments, the organic phosphonic acid in the monolayer refers to a compound in which one or two hydroxyl groups in the (HO)3PO molecule are replaced by an alkyl or aryl group. The organic carboxylic acid molecule refers to an organic compound containing a carboxyl group (-COOH). Specifically, the organic phosphonic acid molecules in the monolayer include alkyl phosphonic acids with 4-18 carbon atoms. For example, the alkyl phosphonic acid can be at least one of n-hexylphosphonic acid (HPA), n-decylphosphonic acid (DPA), n-dodecylphosphonic acid (DDPA), n-hexadecylphosphonic acid (HDPA), n-octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA), etc. The organic carboxylic acid molecules in the monolayer include at least one of olefins with 4-18 carbon atoms and alkanoic acids with 4-18 carbon atoms. For example, the olefin can be at least one of 2,4-hexadienoic acid (sorbic acid), 2-octenoic acid, 2-decenoic acid, octadecadienoic acid, etc. And the alkanoic acid can be at least one of n-dodecanoic acid (dodecanoic acid), n-tetradecanoic acid (tetradecanoic acid), n-hexadecanoic acid (hexadecanoic acid), etc.

[0034] In some embodiments, only organic phosphonic acid molecules can be selected in the monolayer. For example, the material of the monolayer is an organic phosphonic acid molecule, and the organic phosphonic acid molecule includes at least one of n-hexylphosphonic acid, n-decylphosphonic acid, n-dodecylphosphonic acid, n-hexadecylphosphonic acid, and n-octadecylphosphonic acid. Further, the organic phosphonic acid molecule includes a mixed acid of n-hexylphosphonic acid and n-dodecylphosphonic acid, and the molar ratio of n-hexylphosphonic acid to n-dodecylphosphonic acid can be (4-6):(4-6).

[0035] In some embodiments, the amorphous alloy substrate includes at least one of a zirconium-based amorphous alloy substrate, a titanium-based amorphous alloy substrate, and an iron-based amorphous alloy substrate.

[0036] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a metallic glass for preparing the above-mentioned metallic glass. Specifically, the preparation method of the embodiment of the present application includes: S01: Provide an amorphous alloy substrate and a modification solution, and the solute of the modification solution includes at least one of an organic phosphonic acid molecule and an organic carboxylic acid molecule; S02: Immerse the amorphous alloy substrate in the modification solution, and then take it out for drying treatment to obtain a metallic glass.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the amorphous alloy substrate is immersed in a solution containing an organic phosphonic acid molecule and / or an organic carboxylic acid molecule, and a monomolecular layer is self-assembled on the surface of the amorphous alloy substrate by these organic molecules, so as to obtain a surface-modified metallic glass. Such a preparation method is not only simple in process, but also the obtained metallic glass has good demolding performance when used in a micro-injection molding die.

[0038] Specifically, the metallic glass obtained by the above preparation method is a bulk metallic glass.

[0039] Raw materials are provided in step S01.

[0040] In some embodiments, the modification solution contains at least one of an organic phosphonic acid molecule and an organic carboxylic acid molecule, wherein the organic phosphonic acid molecule includes an alkyl phosphonic acid with 4-18 carbon atoms; the organic carboxylic acid molecule includes at least one of an unsaturated acid with 4-18 carbon atoms and an alkanoic acid with 4-18 carbon atoms. The substrate to be modified is an amorphous alloy substrate, including at least one of a zirconium-based amorphous alloy substrate, a titanium-based amorphous alloy substrate, and an iron-based amorphous alloy substrate.

[0041] In some embodiments, the solute concentration in the modification solution is 2-8 mmol / L, and the total concentration of the organic phosphonic acid molecule and / or the organic carboxylic acid molecule in the modification solution is 2-8 mmol / L. In this concentration range, the dispersibility is good, and self-assembly can be well carried out on the surface of the amorphous alloy substrate to form a monomolecular layer. Further, the solvent in the modification solution is selected from alcohol solvents, such as ethanol, propanol, etc.

[0042] Step S02 is a self-assembly step.

[0043] In some embodiments, the amorphous alloy substrate is immersed in the modification solution for 6-50 h, for example, the immersion time can be 20-50 h; self-assembly can be fully carried out within this time range. The immersion temperature can be room temperature (25-30 °C).

[0044] In some embodiments, after the self-assembly is completed by the immersion treatment, natural air drying is further carried out.

[0045] In some embodiments, before the amorphous alloy substrate is subjected to the immersion treatment, a pretreatment is first performed, and the pretreatment includes: sequentially performing ultrasonic cleaning with an alcohol reagent and water, then ultraviolet ozone treatment, and then sequentially performing ultrasonic cleaning with an alcohol reagent and water. This can fully clean the surface of the amorphous alloy substrate, so that organic molecule self-assembly can be better performed.

[0046] In some embodiments, the present application uses a room-temperature solution deposition method to prepare a hydrophobic monolayer (for example, HPA, DDPA, and a mixed HPA-DDPA monolayer) on the surface of an amorphous alloy (such as a Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy). The influence of different molecular species and amorphous alloy species on the experiment was explored. The influence of the amorphous alloy substrate on the replication of micro-nano structures was evaluated through a micro-injection experiment, and the hydrophobic properties and surface morphology of the micro-injection products after surface monolayer modification treatment were further analyzed, so as to evaluate the improvement effect of SAMs treatment on the performance of the micro-injection products.

[0047] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a mold core for injection molding. Specifically, the mold core of the embodiment of the present application has a microstructured surface, and the material of the mold core is a bulk metallic glass, and the bulk metallic glass includes the metallic glass provided in the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application and / or the metallic glass prepared by the preparation method provided in the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application. Based on the fact that the mold core material includes the unique metallic glass of the present application, it can be well used in the injection molding process.

[0048] Most polymer resins need to undergo various process treatments before being formed into final products. These resins are generally processed starting from a molten state, and when the aspect ratio of the micro / nano structure exceeds 1:1, its surface effect will be enhanced, resulting in an accelerated cooling rate. Especially when the surface-to-volume ratio is high, it may cause premature solidification of the melt, thereby preventing the full filling of the micro-nano cavity. This situation may also lead to excessive or uneven demolding force, causing difficulties in the demolding process, and further resulting in problems such as inability to demold, product deformation, or damage to the micro-nano structure. Therefore, reducing the micro-nano scale friction during the molding process has become the focus of research.

[0049] In some embodiments, the present application uses a slow wire electrical discharge machining to process ordered microstructures as an injection mold core, and explores the influence of injecting bulk amorphous alloys with different anchoring group SAMs, different chain length SAMs, and mixed SAMs. The surface microstructure array of the mold core was characterized by a laser confocal microscope, and the replication quality and morphology of the micro-injection parts were compared. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, Zr 55 Cu 30 Al 10Taking the Ni5 bulk amorphous alloy die core as the research object, this paper mainly discusses the effects of organic phosphonic acid SAMs with different carbon chain lengths on the surface properties, injection molding properties and demolding force of this Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy, and explores the effects of the types of SAMs and the types of amorphous alloys on the experiment.

[0050] In some embodiments, HPA SAMs, DDPA SAMs and HPA-DDPA mixed SAMs are adsorbed on the surface of the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy. The results show that the stacking density order of SAMs is HPA-DDPA SAMs > DDPA SAMs > HPA SAMs. Organic phosphonic acid SAMs can effectively reduce the surface free energy of the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy and achieve the modification from a hydrophilic to a hydrophobic surface, among which the mixed-chain SAMs show the highest water contact angle. With the increase of the carbon chain length, the water contact angle of SAMs increases, and the mixed-chain SAMs relatively show better hydrophobic properties.

[0051] In some embodiments, organic carboxylic acid SAMs of sorbic acid SAMs and myristic acid SAMs are adsorbed on the surface of the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy. The results show that organic carboxylic acid SAMs can also effectively reduce the surface free energy of the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy. Although the modification from a hydrophilic to a hydrophobic surface is weaker, it can still increase its contact angle, and myristic acid SAMs show the highest water contact angle. With the increase of the carbon chain length, the water contact angle of myristic acid SAMs increases, and myristic acid SAMs relatively show better hydrophobic properties.

[0052] In some embodiments, HPA-DDPA mixed SAMs are adsorbed on the surface of the Ti-based bulk amorphous alloy and the Fe-based bulk amorphous alloy. The results show that on different base bulk amorphous alloys, HPA-DDPA mixed SAMs can also effectively reduce their surface free energy and achieve the modification from a hydrophilic to a hydrophobic surface.

[0053] In some embodiments, the injection molding results show that organic phosphonic acid SAMs can effectively reduce the surface energy of Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys, thereby reducing the adhesion phenomenon during the demolding process. When injecting without applying SAMs on the mold core surface, defects such as uneven heights, top depressions, and neck constrictions often occur in the micro-columns of rectangular grid injection molded parts, and their sizes are usually smaller than those of the micro-cavity molds. However, when injecting the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy mold core adsorbed with SAMs, these injection molded part defects are significantly improved, each micro-column becomes more uniform in three-dimensional shape, can be accurately replicated, and the replication rate of the shape microstructure of the micro-cavity is increased. In addition, when injecting on the mold core without SAMs treatment, the height and width of the cross-section of the micro-columns of the injection molded parts show negative deviations, that is, the microstructure shrinks and deforms. In contrast, after the mold core surface is treated with organic phosphonic acid SAMs, the height-width deviation of the micro-columns of the injection molded parts gradually decreases, and the width deviation becomes positive after treatment with HPA-DDPA SAMs, showing an expansion deformation of the microstructure.

[0054] In some embodiments, different organic carboxylic acid SAMs, namely sorbic acid SAMs and myristic acid SAMs, are adsorbed on the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy in this application, and the corresponding injection molding results show that organic carboxylic acid SAMs can also reduce the surface energy of Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys and reduce the adhesion phenomenon during the demolding process. When injecting the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy mold core adsorbed with organic carboxylic acid SAMs, these injection molded part defects are improved, each micro-column becomes more uniform in three-dimensional shape, and compared with the case where SAMs are not applied on the mold core surface, the injection can be more accurately replicated, and the replication rate of the shape microstructure of the micro-cavity is increased.

[0055] In some embodiments, the injection molding effects of different SAMs on the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy mold core are studied in a micro-injection device. The mold core is manufactured by wire electrical discharge machining with slow walking, and its surface structure is characterized by a laser microscope. The experiments show that SAMs treatment improves the interaction between the mold core and the polymer, especially HPA-DDPA SAMs are outstanding in enhancing the injection molding effect. At the same time, organic carboxylic acid SAMs also play a role in enhancing the injection molding effect. The injection results show that organic phosphonic acid SAMs can reduce the surface energy of Zr amorphous alloys, reduce demolding adhesion, and improve the uniformity of micro-columns. HPA-DDPA SAMs exhibit excellent wear resistance and maintain high replication quality. The research not only confirms the effectiveness of SAMs in improving surface friction performance and demolding effect, but also provides new ideas for the optimization of micro-injection technology.

[0056] In summary, this embodiment of the application introduces the process of preparing SAMs on the surface of the bulk amorphous alloy mold core and each raw material, and specifically describes and introduces the micro-injection equipment, characterization experimental equipment and principles required for experimental research. Five different SAMs were prepared on the surface of the bulk amorphous alloy mold core and their main surface characteristics were analyzed. Polypropylene (PP) was selected as the raw material for micro-injection molding experiments, and in-depth research was carried out on the replication filling performance, height-width deviation analysis and wear resistance through the micro-injection molding equipment. The following will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments. Example 1 1. Experimental Materials and Preparation

The Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy sheets were cut by wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM-LS, AP250LS, SODICK, Japan) to obtain rectangular thin sheet specimens with a size of 3×5 mm. The solutes used to prepare SAMs are dodecylphosphonic acid (DDPA), hexylphosphonic acid (HPA), 2,4-hexadienoic acid (sorbic acid) and myristic acid (tetradecanoic acid), all purchased from Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd., and the parameters are shown in Table 1.

[0058]

[0059] The cleaning agents and solvents include: absolute ethanol (analytical pure, purchased from Jiangsu Qiangsheng Functional Chemical Co., Ltd.), and primary ultrapure water (purchased from Guangzhou Hewei Medical Technology Co., Ltd.). All chemical reagents were purchased commercially and were not further purified.

[0060] 1.2 Sample Preparation Solution deposition method was used to prepare organic phosphonic acid SAMs and organic carboxylic acid SAMs on the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy respectively. The schematic diagram of the preparation process of organic phosphonic acid SAMs is as Figure 1 shown, where Me represents metal elements (including Zr, Cu, Al, Ni, etc.), and R represents an alkyl chain -(CH2) n CH3. The preparation process of organic carboxylic acid SAMs is to replace organic phosphonic acid with organic carboxylic acid, and other parameters can be adjusted adaptively.

[0061] The specific steps are as follows: First, pre-treat the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy. Use anhydrous ethanol and ultrapure water to ultrasonically clean the sample surface for 15 minutes in sequence to remove organic contaminants and inorganic impurities on the surface. Then, perform 15-minute UV / ozone treatment through a self-made ultraviolet ozone cleaning instrument to further remove residual organic substances. Finally, ultrasonically clean the sample surface with anhydrous ethanol and ultrapure water again for 15 minutes in sequence to avoid residue of contaminants. In the experiment, the bare Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy was also pretreated as above. The solute powder was dried in a vacuum drying oven (DZF-6050AB, Shanghai Kuntian Laboratory Instruments Co., Ltd., China) at a constant temperature of 80 °C for 1 hour to remove moisture. Using anhydrous ethanol as the solvent, prepare DDPA solutions, HPA solutions, HPA-DDPA mixed solutions (mixing ratio in moles is 1:1), sorbic acid solutions, and myristic acid solutions with a concentration of 5 mmol / L. Then immerse the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy in five different solutions at room temperature for 6 - 48 hours. After taking it out, use primary ultrapure water to remove the residual solution on the surface and let it air-dry naturally in a dust-free environment. 2. Micro-injection molding equipment

[0062] In this experiment, a micro-injection molding machine from Babyplast Company in Italy, model BABYPLAST-6-10P, was used. The detailed parameters of the equipment are listed in Table 2.

[0063]

[0064] The cooling system of the micro-injection molding machine uses a Shenzhen Dijia AC-02A chiller, with a compression power of 1.5 kW, a water tank capacity of 38 L, a cooling air volume of 2500 cubic meters per hour, a water pump power of 0.55 kW, a chilled water flow rate of 1.5 cubic meters per hour, and a maximum cooling water pump pressure of 4 kg. This system consists of a water tank and a water pump, circulating cold water through water pipes to effectively control the pressure oil and mold temperature of the injection molding machine, ensuring that the machine operates normally while preventing overheating. 3. Test equipment in the surface test of amorphous alloy

[0065] 3.1. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) Use a Bruker D8-AA25 X-ray diffractometer to detect the amorphous state and internal crystallization state of the bare board and wire-cut Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy. The incident range of this instrument is from 20° to 80°, the step size is 0.02°, and the Cu-Kα ray wavelength λ = 1.5418 is used.

[0066] 3.2. Laser confocal microscope The filling performance of the rectangular grid microstructure in micro-injection molding was detected using a laser confocal microscope (KEYENCE, VK-50, Japan). To further study the influence of different SAMs on the micro-injection molding process, the microstructure filling performance and height-width deviation of the molded plastic parts were further investigated.

[0067] 3.3、Water contact angle measuring instrument The wettability of the bare board and different SAMs surfaces was characterized and calculated by the solid-liquid contact angle of ultrapure water at room temperature using a fully automatic high-temperature water contact angle measuring instrument (DSA100S, KRUSS, Germany). Each sample was measured at least five times repeatedly.

[0068] 3.4、Other experimental instruments (1)Vacuum drying oven: In this study, a vacuum drying oven of model DZF-6050B produced by Wohong Experimental Instrument Co., Ltd. was used to dry the materials used.

[0069] (2)Electronic balance scale: The electronic balance used in this article is a domestic model HZY-A200, which is mainly used in the experiments of preparing different SAMs content ratios. 4、Test results Influence of organophosphonic acid SAMs on the contact angle of Zr-based BMGs

[0070] Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys with different organophosphonic acid SAMs coatings were prepared by the solution deposition method. The surface water contact angles of the bare board and Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys with different organophosphonic acid SAMs are as Figure 2 shown. The results show that the water contact angle on the bare board surface is 60.1°, indicating that the bare board surface has obvious hydrophilicity. However, after the bare board was immersed in the organophosphonic acid solution for 6 hours, the water contact angles increased to 83° for HPA SAMs, 93° for DDPA SAMs, and 104.1° for HPA-DDPA SAMs, respectively. Therefore, it is proved that the adsorption of HPA, DDPA, and HPA-DDPA molecules on the bare board surface was achieved, and these three SAMs can effectively reduce the surface free energy of the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy, modifying the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy surface from a hydrophilic surface to a hydrophobic surface.

[0071] Among the three different SAMs, the water contact angle of the mixed HPA-DDPA SAMs is the largest, followed by the DDPA SAMs, and the water contact angle of the HPA SAMs is the smallest. This is because the water contact angle is significantly affected by the packing density of phosphonic acid molecules. As the packing density increases, the surface free energy decreases and the water contact angle increases. In addition, for pure SAMs, the longer the molecular chain, the higher the packing density. Therefore, the packing density and water contact angle of the DDPA SAMs with long chains are higher than those of the HPA SAMs with short chains. For the mixed HPA-DDPA SAMs, since the molecules of different lengths do not phase-separate and have the same head anchoring groups so that their adsorption has no obvious preference order, the short HPA molecules can insert into the pores between the long DDPA molecules, which makes the mixed HPA-DDPA SAMs have a higher packing density than pure SAMs. At the same time, the increase in packing density will also increase the orderliness of the SAMs and reduce the poor packing. Therefore, the mixed HPA-DDPA SAMs have the highest packing density and water contact angle. Effect of Organic Carboxylic Acid SAMs on the Contact Angle of Zr-Based BMGs

[0072] Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys with different organic carboxylic acid SAMs coatings were prepared by solution deposition method. The surface water contact angles of the bare plate and the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys with different organic carboxylic acid SAMs are as Figure 3 shown. The results show that the water contact angle on the bare plate surface is 60.1°, which indicates that the bare plate surface has obvious hydrophilicity. However, after immersing the bare plate in the organic carboxylic acid solution for 6 hours, the water contact angles increased to 61.7° for sorbic acid SAMs and 72.4° for myristic acid SAMs, respectively. Therefore, sorbic acid and myristic acid molecules were adsorbed on the bare plate surface. Although the surface of the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy was modified from a hydrophilic surface to a hydrophobic surface weakly, the contact angle performance was still improved. Among the two different SAMs, the water contact angle of the myristic acid SAMs is the largest, while the water contact angle of the sorbic acid SAMs is the smallest. Effect of Organic Phosphonic Acid SAMs on the Contact Angle of Ti-Based and Fe-Based Bulk Amorphous Alloys

[0073] Comparing the effects on the wetting properties of different base bulk amorphous alloys, Ti 20 Zr 20 Hf 20 Be 20 Ni 20 amorphous alloy sheets (hereinafter referred to as Ti-based bulk amorphous alloys) and Fe 69 B 23 Nb4Y4 amorphous alloy sheets (hereinafter referred to as Fe-based bulk amorphous alloys) were used, and the Fe-based bulk amorphous alloys and Ti-based bulk amorphous alloys were modified according to the above method.

[0074] Ti-based, Fe-based, and Zr-based bulk metallic glasses with HPA-DDPA SAMs coatings were prepared by solution deposition method. The surface water contact angles of the bare plates and Ti-based, Fe-based, and Zr-based bulk metallic glasses with HPA-DDPA SAMs are as Figure 4 shown. It can be seen from the figure that the surface water contact angles of the bare Ti-based, Fe-based, and Zr-based plates are 78.6°, 75.0°, and 60.1°, respectively, indicating that the surfaces of the bare Ti-based, Fe-based, and Zr-based plates are all significantly hydrophilic. However, after immersing the bare plates in the HPA-DDPA phosphonic acid solution for 6 hours, the water contact angles increased to 89.5° for the Ti-based bulk, 91.3° for the Fe-based bulk, and 101.4° for the Zr-based bulk, and the corresponding improvement ratios are approximately 13.9%, 21.7%, and 68.7%, respectively. Therefore, in this experiment, the adsorption of HPA-DDPA molecules on the surfaces of the bare Ti-based, Fe-based, and Zr-based plates was achieved, and this SAMs can modify the surfaces of different bulk metallic glasses from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Among the three different bulk metallic glasses, the Zr-based bulk metallic glass has the largest increase in the water contact angle, followed by the Fe-based bulk metallic glass, while the Ti-based bulk metallic glass has the smallest increase in the water contact angle. This shows that the SAMs coating is also effective for the wetting properties of other non-Zr-based bulk metallic glasses. Example 2 1. Mold core surface morphology and process parameters

[0075] Wire electrical discharge machining with slow walking speed (WEDM-LS) is widely used because it does not apply mechanical force to the workpiece and the electrode when machining difficult-to-machine materials. Compared with other machining methods, WEDM-LS is completely immersed in an oil environment, which can not only isolate oxygen but also timely remove heat, avoiding crystallization and oxidation of BMG during the machining process. This technology is particularly suitable for machining the mold core of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses. During the machining process of the mold core by WEDM-LS (AP250LS, Sodick, Japan), a brass wire with a diameter of 100 μm is used to perform electrical discharge machining on the Zr-based bulk metallic glass substrate according to the preset trajectory. The on-time of the pulsed current in one cycle is 60 milliseconds, and the off-time is 40 milliseconds. Using an oil-based dielectric fluid can create an environment without external air, which can not only prevent external oxygen from interfering with the machining surface but also effectively remove the debris generated during the machining process.

[0076] As Figure 5It is a prepared Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy mold core. Among them, (a) is the prism array microstructure. By controlling the movement trajectory of the wire electrode, a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) mold core with a surface having a prism array microstructure was successfully processed. A laser confocal microscope was used to finely measure a single prism manufactured. Its width and height are 112.3 ± 0.72 μm and 281.7 ± 0.46 μm respectively. The aspect ratio of the prism is 2.5:1, and the spacing between adjacent prisms is 195.4 ± 0.91 μm. Such acceptable errors in size are likely due to the release of residual stress in the amorphous alloy mold core after the electroforming process, which in turn leads to the shrinkage of the microcavity. In the magnified image, namely Figure 5 In (b), sub-micron discharge pits caused by spark discharge corrosion are observed on the surface of the mold core. After measurement, the surface roughness Ra of the upper surface and the lower surface of the microstructure are 0.89 μm and 1.73 μm respectively. This difference in surface roughness between the upper and lower surfaces may be due to the structural limitations of the cylindrical wire electrode and the effect of discharge concentration, resulting in relatively lower surface quality of the lower surface. The XRD results of the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy are shown in (d) of the figure. A broad diffraction peak can be found at about 37.4 °C, which confirms its completely amorphous nature. At the same time, it still remains completely amorphous after slow wire electrical discharge machining. Figure 5 (c) of Figure 5 is a three-dimensional stereogram of the mold core. The micron columns of the insert will be replicated into a rectangular grid microstructure. The specific dimensions of the mold core are shown in Figure 5 (e).

[0077] Furthermore, PP was selected as the raw material, and experiments were carried out using a Babyplast micro-injection molding machine. The research method used the single-factor analysis method, keeping the molding process parameters unchanged, including melt temperature, injection speed, injection pressure, etc. The detailed parameters are listed in Table 3. In this experiment, the effects of five different SAMs adsorbed on the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy mold core on the demolding force and injection molding effect were analyzed. 5 - 20 samples were selected from each batch of injection molded parts for analysis. The injection molded samples are shown in Figure 6 . Under each set of experimental conditions, after ensuring the stable operation of the injection molding machine, 5 standard molded samples were selected for morphological structure analysis under a laser confocal microscope.

[0078] 2. Research on the micro-injection molding effect of SAMs

[0079] 2.1. Influence of organophosphonic acid SAMs on injection molding quality The PP injection-molded products after the first demolding were selected and observed for their microstructures using a laser confocal microscope. The influence of the amorphous alloy mold core modified with organophosphonic acid SAMs on the demolding effect was illustrated by the three-dimensional morphology of the matrix array microstructure. The two-dimensional cross-section of a rectangular grid microstructure was intercepted and its replication quality was analyzed, and its two-dimensional profile is shown in Figure 7 . It should be noted that for the same sample, at least 3 positions were intercepted, and the most representative two-dimensional profile was selected for analysis. It can be seen that when the amorphous alloy mold core was not modified with SAMs, the width of the micro-columns of the micro-injection molded PP samples was relatively small, and most of the micro-columns were not fully replicated. However, after alkylphosphonic acid SAMs were deposited on the surface of the amorphous alloy, when the modified mold core was used for micro-injection molding of PP samples, the morphology and fullness of the micro-columns were significantly improved. Therefore, the microstructure of the mold core could be well replicated and successfully demolded from the amorphous alloy mold core.

[0080] To quantitatively analyze the demolding quality, the deviation percentages of the height and width of the micro-column profile were defined to describe the deviation between the profile of the injection-molded microstructure and the micro-cavity in the amorphous alloy mold core. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0081] where , and represent the replication rate of the microstructure on the part surface, the cross-sectional area of the micro-columns of the injection-molded part, and the cross-sectional area of the micro-columns of the mold core, respectively.

[0082] Through the multi-dimensional perspective shown in Figure 7 , the three-dimensional surface morphology of the rectangular grid microstructure and its corresponding two-dimensional cross-section after injection molding of PP on the bare board and the Zr-based amorphous alloy surface treated with different self-assembled monolayers were observed. Figure 7The injection molded parts of (a), (b), (c), and (d) therein respectively represent the microstructures formed on the surfaces treated by bare board, HPA SAMs, DDPA SAMs, and HPA-DDPA SAMs. By observing the two-dimensional cross-section of the rectangular grid microstructure under the bare board condition, it can be seen that its surface morphological structure exhibits significant injection molding defects compared with the injection molded parts treated by SAMs. This may be due to the high surface energy caused by the absence of any surface treatment, which triggers the shrinkage of the polymer. In addition, a significant reduction in the micro-column height can be observed in the two-dimensional cross-section, which may be caused by the shrinkage during the demolding process. The injection molded parts of Zr-based amorphous alloy injection molded with HPASAMs show more smooth microstructure characteristics, and the height of its micro-columns increases relative to the bare board treatment. This indicates that the use of HPA helps to reduce the friction between the polymer and the mold, thereby reducing the microstructure deformation during demolding. For the injection molded parts of Zr-based amorphous alloy mold core injection molded with DDPA SAMs, the height and width of its rectangular grid microstructure are similar to those of the injection molded parts treated by HPA SAMs, but the height change is more gentle and the overall morphology is more complete. This shows that DDPA SAMs exhibit significant effects in maintaining the dimensional stability of the microstructure and have significant advantages in reducing the friction between the polymer and the mold. The injection molded parts of Zr-based amorphous alloy mold core injection molded with HPA-DDPA SAMs show extremely precise and consistent microstructure characteristics in the three-dimensional topography map, and its two-dimensional cross-section also shows the smallest height and width deviations, achieving the best structure replication effect. This shows that the hybrid chain SAMs can effectively provide high-quality surface protection by combining the advantages of single SAMs and relying on a higher packing density, maintaining the dimensional stability of the microstructure during demolding, thus verifying the effectiveness of organophosphonic acid SAMs in optimizing the surface friction performance of amorphous alloys.

[0083] Figure 8 It shows the change of the replication rate of the microstructure of polypropylene (PP) material injection molded parts when using bare board, HPA SAMs, DDPA SAMs, and HPA-DDPA SAMs as the mold core under the condition that other molding process parameters are fixed. The combination shows that compared with the bare board, the replication rate of the micro-columns of the injection molded parts treated by self-assembled monolayers has increased, and the increase of the hybrid chain SAMs of HPA-DDPASAMs is the most significant. When HPA SAMs, DDPA SAMs, and HPA-DDPASAMs are adsorbed on the surface of the mold core respectively, the replication rate of the rectangular grid microstructure of PP increases from 67.4% to 74.5%, 76.5%, and 81.6% respectively, and the corresponding increase ratios are approximately 7.1%, 9.1%, and 14.2%.

[0084] The main reason for this phenomenon can be attributed to the dominant role of capillary force on the hydrophilic surface during the adhesion process. Since capillary force is the main force affecting adhesion and is particularly strong on hydrophilic surfaces, the frictional performance of hydrophilic surfaces is lower than that of hydrophobic surfaces. In this case, the friction coefficient of the bare board surface is higher than that of the surface treated with phosphonic acid SAMs, which in turn affects the replication rate of the microstructure. In addition, the mixed-chain SAMs of HPA-DDPA have a higher packing density and stronger order compared to the single-chain HPA and DDPA, which weakens the van der Waals interaction force per unit area and thus reduces the interaction between the inner wall of the mold core and PP. This weakened interaction promotes the fluidity of the melt in the cavity and ultimately enhances the replication performance of the microstructure.

[0085] To quantify the demolding quality, the percentage deviation is defined to describe the dimensional difference between the injection-molded structure and the mold core. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0086] where 、 and are the percentage deviation of width, the average width of the microstructure, and the width of the mold core, respectively;

[0087] where 、 and are the percentage deviation of height, the average height of the microstructure, and the height of the mold core, respectively.

[0088] In the application, the dimensional deviation of the injection-molded part with a rectangular grid microstructure relative to the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy mold core has been quantified, and the specific data are shown as Figure 9 indicated. For the microcolumn profile, the height deviation generally shows a negative value, which indicates that the microcolumns of the injection-molded part fail to achieve complete replication after demolding from the amorphous alloy mold core under all experimental conditions. When HPA SAMs, DDPA SAMs, and HPA-DDPA SAMs are deposited on the mold core surface respectively, the height deviation of the microcolumn profile of the injection-molded part gradually decreases, from -26.8%, -21%, -19.9% to -15.8% respectively. This change is attributed to the fact that SAMs endow the mold core with better anti-adhesion performance by reducing its surface energy. This improved anti-adhesion performance is beneficial to improving the fluidity of the melt in the cavity, thus achieving a smaller height deviation.

[0089] In the case where no self-assembled coating was adsorbed on the mold core surface, the width deviation of the microstructures was -5.9%, indicating shrinkage deformation. However, when HPA SAMs, DDPA SAMs, and HPA-DDPA SAM were deposited on the mold core surface, the width deviation of the micro-column profiles gradually decreased, dropping to -4.3%, -1.2%, and 0.2% respectively. The width deviation of HPA-DDPA SAMs changed from negative to positive, indicating that the rectangular grid microstructure underwent shrinkage deformation rather than expansion deformation. The main reason for this phenomenon is the relatively small van der Waals interaction force, which weakens the adhesion and friction between the polymer and the mold core during demolding, ensuring the morphological difference of the rectangular grid microstructure.

[0090] Taking into account the size deviations of the mold core and the microstructures, it was found that the PP rectangular grid microstructures formed by bare-board injection molding showed the worst height and width deviations. Therefore, it can be inferred that the surface free energy of the mold core is a key factor affecting the replication quality.

[0091] 2.2 Influence of Organic Carboxylic Acid SAMs on Injection Molding Quality The PP injection-molded products after the first demolding were selected and observed with a laser confocal microscope to examine the microstructures. The influence of the amorphous alloy mold core modified with organic carboxylic acid SAMs on the demolding effect was illustrated by the three-dimensional morphology of the matrix array microstructures. The two-dimensional cross-section of a rectangular grid microstructure was intercepted and analyzed for replication quality, and its two-dimensional contour is shown in Figure 10 It should be noted that for the same sample, at least 3 positions were intercepted, and the most representative two-dimensional contour was selected for analysis. It can be seen that when the amorphous alloy mold core was not modified with SAMs, the width of the micro-columns of the micro-injection molded PP samples was relatively small, and most of the micro-columns were not fully replicated. However, after the organic carboxylic acid SAMs were deposited on the surface of the amorphous alloy, when the modified mold core was used for micro-injection molding of PP samples, the morphology and fullness of the micro-columns were still improved. Therefore, the mold core microstructures can be well replicated and successfully demolded from the amorphous alloy mold core.

[0092] The deviation between the cross-section of the injection-molded microstructure and the micro-cavity in the amorphous alloy mold core was described by formula (1).

[0093] Through Figure 10 the multi-dimensional perspectives shown, the three-dimensional surface morphology and the corresponding two-dimensional cross-sectional views of the injection-molded rectangular grid microstructures of PP after injection molding on the bare board and the Zr-based amorphous alloy surface treated with different self-assembled monolayers were observed. Figure 10The injection-molded parts of (a), (b), and (c) represent the microstructures formed on the surfaces treated with bare plates, sorbic acid SAMs, and myristic acid SAMs, respectively. It can be seen that the surface morphological structure of the two-dimensional cross-section of the rectangular grid microstructure under the bare plate condition shows significant injection molding defects compared with the injection-molded parts treated with SAMs. Then, the injection-molded parts of Zr-based amorphous alloy injection-molded with sorbic acid SAMs show relatively smooth microstructure features, and the height of its micro-columns increases slightly compared with the bare plate treatment. This indicates that the use of sorbic acid and phosphonic acid SAMs also helps to reduce the friction between the polymer and the mold, thereby reducing the microstructure deformation during demolding. Secondly, for the injection-molded parts of the Zr-based amorphous alloy mold core treated with myristic acid SAMs, the height of its rectangular grid microstructure is similar to that of the injection-molded parts treated with HPA SAMs, and its width is increased compared with the injection-molded parts treated with HPA SAMs. This shows that myristic acid SAMs show an effect in maintaining the dimensional stability of the microstructure and have an advantage in reducing the friction between the polymer and the mold, thus verifying the effectiveness of carboxylic acid SAMs in optimizing the surface friction performance of amorphous alloys.

[0094] Figure 11 shows the change in the replication rate of the microstructure of polypropylene (PP) material injection-molded parts when using a bare plate, sorbic acid SAMs, and myristic acid SAMs as the mold core while other molding process parameters are fixed. Combining Figure 10 It can be clearly seen that compared with the bare plate, the replication rate of the micro-columns of all injection-molded parts treated with self-assembled monolayers has increased. When sorbic acid SAMs and myristic acid SAMs are adsorbed on the surface of the mold core respectively, the replication rate of the rectangular grid microstructure of PP increases from 67.4% to 70.7% and 71.5% respectively, and the corresponding increase ratios are approximately 3.3% and 4.1%.

[0095] Formulas (2) and (3) are used to quantify the demolding quality, and the percentage deviation is defined to describe the dimensional difference between the injection-molded structure and the mold core. In this experiment, the dimensional deviation of the rectangular grid microstructure injection-molded part relative to the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy mold core has been quantified, and the specific data is as Figure 12 shown. When sorbic acid SAMs and myristic acid SAMs are deposited on the surface of the mold core respectively, the height deviation of the micro-column cross-section of the injection-molded part decreases slightly, from -26.8% to -25.5% and -24.1% respectively. When no self-assembled coating is adsorbed on the surface of the mold core, the width deviation of the microstructure is -5.9%, indicating shrinkage deformation. However, when sorbic acid SAMs and myristic acid SAMs are deposited on the surface of the mold core, the width deviation of the micro-column cross-section gradually decreases, to -2.2% and -1.4% respectively.

[0096] Taking into account the dimensional deviations of the mold core and the microstructures comprehensively, the microstructures of the mold core adsorbed with organic carboxylic acid SAMs are improved compared to those of the mold core without the self-assembled coating adsorbed. It can be shown that the organic carboxylic acid SAMs can improve the injection molding effect.

Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
