摘要

智能响应性可以将丰富的功能集成到微流体器件中; 同时在刺激前后稳定的润湿区域赋予微流体器件稳定的功能表达. 因此在微流体器件领域, 如何构建具有多重响应的多梯度润湿表面仍然是目前面临的一个巨大挑战. 本文应用原子转移自由基聚合方法在硅基底上制备聚(N-异丙基甲基丙烯酰胺)-b-(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)-co-2-(甲基丙烯酰氧基)乙基磷酸)聚合物刷. 通过对温度和pH值的控制, 在聚 合物表面实现了浸润性的多级梯度变化. 同时, 伴随着温度和pH值的变化, 聚合物刷表面的粘附力也表现为多级梯度变化. 这种多重响应的多级梯度变化的聚合物刷将为多功能微流体和生物分析器件的构建提供一种新方法.
