The invention discloses a method for constructing a virtual channel for restricting liquid drop movement. A liquid channel is constructed on the basis of a super-hydrophobic structure design without an actual groove or solid wall. The method is used for building two microstructure regions respectively provided with a higher energy rampart and a lower energy rampart through a surface microstructure design so that the liquid drop movement is restricted in a virtual channel enclosed by the energy ramparts. The method reduces the hysteresis resistance born by a micro liquid chip in liquid drop movement, lowers the requirement on a driving device in the micro liquid chip, reduces the mass loss of liquid drops in the transportation and analysis process, improves the analysis and detection efficiency and the accuracy of the micro liquid chip to a micro sample and saves resources.

The tradition microchannel mainly is to construct groove by Micrometer-Nanometer Processing Technologies such as photoetching and etchings to form passage on material substrate, and the inner wall smooth degree requires very high.But because this class channel form is limit (closed), drop contact area with the surface of solids in passage is very big, and the hysteresis effect of drop is very obvious and can cause mass loss in transport process, therefore will effectively control liquid drop movement and just compare difficulty.Also have scholar's Applied Surface Chemistry to modify design surface to distribute and control liquid drop movement, but the greatest problem that these class methods exist is the biochemical compatible of drop inner analysis material and face finish material, unfavorable to the reaction control of liquid in the fluid channel.
Based on the super hydrophobic surface of coarse structure, for harmless the transporting of liquid in the microchannel provides possibility.Because the contact area of super hydrophobic surface and drop is less, the suffered viscosity resistance of drop will be very little, makes drop more easily move, even can realize that the harmless of liquid transports.Simultaneously, by the design surface micro-structural, the free energy barrier of layout surface distributes easily, with the only freely-movable in the zone of design in advance of control drop, has the liquid drop movement of higher free energy barrier distributed areas then to be restricted at other.
Summary of the invention
The building method that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of tunnel of restricting liquid drop movement, the structure of flow channel for liquids designs based on super-drainage structure, does not need actual groove or solid wall.Suffered hysteresis resistance when this method has reduced liquid drop movement in the micro flow chip, reduced requirement to drive unit in the micro flow chip, reduced simultaneously drop transport, mass loss in the analytic process, improved analyzing and testing efficient and the accuracy of micro flow chip, saved resource micro sample.
The objective of the invention is to realize in the following way: a kind of tunnel of restricting liquid drop movement may further comprise the steps:
1) on base material, makes up with Micrometer-Nanometer Processing Technologies such as etchings by photoetching and have the wide a of different parallel groove micro-structurals, the zone of micro-structural spacing b and microstructure height h.Wherein, make up micro-structural width a
1=1～10 μ m, micro-structural spacing b
1=15～25 μ m, the parallel groove of microstructure height h=20～40 μ m is as the energy barrier zone of restricting liquid drop movement;
2) make up micro-structural width a
2=1～25 μ m (a
2＞a

2=1～25 μ m (b
2＜b
1), the parallel groove of microstructure height h=20～40 μ m is as the tunnel zone that transports drop;
3) tunnel peak width L=500 μ m～1000 μ m, energy barrier peak width L '＞800 μ m, transport droplet size V=2～20 μ l, energy barrier zone with above-mentioned structure surrounds the tunnel zone that drop transports, drop is limited in the passage flows, and can not go beyond energy barrier zone;
If base material intrinsic contact angle＜90 °, the hydrophobic coating of one deck modified making up on the later surface of micro-structural, the silicon fluoride surface modifier F8261 (C of the genus chemical inert material of producing as German goldschmidt chemical corporation
8F
13H
4Si (OCH

3).
Can arrange on energy barrier zone that many tunnel zones are to be built into channel network.
Described hydrophobic coating material is the silicon fluoride surface modifier.
The present invention is applied to microchannel with the super hydrophobic surface design theory, constructed microchannel both sides do not have traditional solid wall form, come restricting liquid drop but utilize the theoretical foundation of microstructure design to come from by the higher rough region of energy barrier, as there being a stifled invisible wall (energy barrier) to block drop, make liquid drop movement only limit to the tunnel zone that is surrounded by the energy barrier; Even drop is not dropped in tunnel position accurately, also can produce unbalanced laplace pressure and make drop move to the low zone of energy barrier from the high zone of energy barrier automatically owing to it is inner, the realization drop is accurately located.This microchannel has reduced the contact area of the drop and the surface of solids as much as possible, significantly reduces the hysteresis power that drop is subjected in transport process, reduces the adhesion loss of drop.In addition, the contact area of drop and gas is multiplied, and promptly the gas liquid reaction area is multiplied, and improves detection sensitivity and speed, and this is for need be to the field of gas fast detecting, and is as the microsensor of real-time monitoring gas componant, significant.

The specific embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, a kind of tunnel micro-structural of restricting liquid drop movement is arranged schematic diagram, makes up micro-structural width a from the teeth outwards by micro-structural process technologies such as photoetching and etchings
