Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of micro-nano manufacturing, and particularly relates to an observation experiment device suitable for a super-hydrophobic surface.

Background

By applying the micro-nano manufacturing technology, devices such as a sensor and the like are integrated in a micro volume, and the miniaturization and low cost of an experimental system can be realized. Particularly, the experimental device of the fluid system adopts a test system formed by a micro-nano manufacturing technology, and is more beneficial to realizing the automation and the miniaturization of an instrument.

The air layer in the microstructure of the submerged superhydrophobic (SHPo) surface enables the liquid to slide over the surface, thereby reducing drag. However, the instability of the air layer retained by the surface prevents the practical use of such a surface. Therefore, the influence of various influencing factors on the instability of the gas layer needs to be researched. However, most previous studies only considered that the structured superhydrophobic surface is affected by air diffusion, condensation, etc. under conditions where the pressure is nearly uniform. In fact, the superhydrophobic surface inevitably bears uneven pressure conditions in application, and the design of the surface structure is also a main factor influencing the practical application effect, so that the current research and observation experiments are insufficient.

Detailed Description

The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

the invention is suitable for an observation experiment device of a super-hydrophobic surface, and consists of 3 parts, namely a flow channel device, an observation device and a test surface which are matched with each other.

See fig. 1. The long straight flow passage 1 is a square long straight flow passage. The left end of the flow channel is open and is a flow channel water inlet 3, and the injection pump 2 is connected to the flow channel water inlet 3. The right end of the flow channel is closed, a small hole is opened to form a flow channel water outlet 4, and a pressure valve 5 is arranged on the water outflow pipe. The flow channel is divided into two parts, a first pressure hole 6 is used as a boundary, a rectifying area is arranged from the water inlet to the pressure hole, and a testing area is arranged behind the pressure hole. A laser light source 7 is arranged on one side of the test area, and a light diffuser 8 is arranged in front of the light source. The other side of the test area is provided with a high speed camera 9, the high speed camera 9 is provided with a 10x objective lens 10, and a test surface 11 is fitted with the runner 1 as the lower bottom surface of the runner 1.

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The mold of the runner 1 is made of photosensitive resin using a 3D printer. After a mould is made, a main agent SYLGUARD-184A and a hardening agent SYLGUARD-184B are mixed according to the mass ratio of 10: 1 proportion, floating bubbles in the mixed solution to the surface and breaking the bubbles by using a vacuumizing mode, pouring the solution on a mould, and then putting the mould into a 120-degree oven for curing for one hour, wherein one side of the runner is kept in an open state during curing.

See fig. 2. The top of the flow passage of the test area is provided with 3 pressure holes 6, and each pressure hole is provided with a matched pressure tap. The pressure holes are respectively positioned at the two ends and the middle of the test area. The pressure tap in the middle is connected with a pressure gauge (12). The pressure taps at the two ends are respectively connected with two probes of a pressure difference meter (13). At the bottom of the test zone flow channel is a test surface 11.

See fig. 3. The bottom of the flow channel in the test area is a test surface 11, and the test surface 11 is a SHPo surface with an array of trenches.

See fig. 4. The main structure of the test surface 11 is an array of trenches, the array pattern being divided into two pattern areas by a ridge structure. The ridge structure is located in the middle of the test zone.

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The mold for testing the surface 11 is made by applying a photolithographic process to a silicon wafer. The pattern of the test surface 11 is designed as an array of grids. The width of the pattern area is equal to the width of the flow channel 1, and the length is equal to the length of the test area of the flow channel 1. The trenches of the array are separated into two regions by a ridge structure of width 200 μm. In photolithography, the depth of the trenches is fixed at 50 μm and the gas fraction is fixed at 50%, where the gas fraction actually characterizes the pitch of the trench structures, and 50% means that the pitch of the trench structures is equal to the width of the trenches. The test surface 11 was also prepared by applying the same PDMS solution to a silicon wafer after evacuation and curing in a 120 degree oven for one hour. The prepared SHPo surface was bonded to a square channel with one side open by using oxygen plasma treatment. After the bonding is completed, the surface of the array groove is embedded with the test region of the flow channel 1, and the position is shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3. The two regions separated by the ridge structure are located between 3 pressure holes, respectively.
