Mostly selecting for use of existing impressing pattern method is the material with base material to be printed, and which kind of printing process the predetermined color that presents considers to use, for example, when being printed on the paper, can use printing materials such as ink, laser carbon dust, and see through the printing that methods such as spraying, wire mark are finished pattern.Yet, when base material to be printed is not a paper, but during other material, just must use the oiliness printing material, could be stably attached on this base material.In addition, if when the predetermined color that will present does not belong to simple primary colors color, then need several colors just can be presented more various color according to the different ratios allotment.
Therefore,, be necessary in fact to continue the new method of manufacturing pattern of exploitation in order on the base material to be printed of unlike material, stably to present the pattern of various colors, and existing known nanosecond science and technology, a wherein emphasis that may develop exactly.Since nano material on using, can make product have compact, economize characteristics such as the energy, high capacity density, high meticulous, high-performance and low public hazards, bring the impellent of traditional industry upgrading, high-tech industry sustainable development and Sustainable Development, make nano material become the foundation stone of nanosecond science and technology development, therefore, material, physics, chemistry, chemical industry and biological each field all have the researchist to drop into the research and development of nanosecond science and technology.
The nano material by type mainly can be divided into four kinds of nanoparticle, nanofiber, nano thin-film and nano blocks.Wherein, because the nanoparticle development time is long also ripe, and nano thin-film and nano block all be to come from nanoparticle, makes the preparation of nanoparticle seem even more important.The method of making nanoparticle at present mainly is divided into chemistry and two kinds of manufacture method of physics:
(1) chemical process: mainly be to use chemical reduction method,, relend by adding the due care agent metallics that is reduced is scattered in the solution equably, and prevent from whereby to produce between metallics and assemble with the chemical reduction metal ion.After treating that success forms the nanoparticle of protected dose of coating in this solution; a substrate is provided again; a wherein surface of this substrate is with a kind of specific organic molecule functionalized modification; whereby; this substrate surface can utilize static charge magnetism and chemical bonded refractory power; produce bond with nanoparticle, form from the ultrastructure of forming (self-assembly).Because chemical process need use organism such as toluene solution and organic mercaptan molecule, wherein, the steam of toluene solution also can cause cancerous lesion, therefore, these organism not only become source of pollution easily and the disappearance of more not environmental protection are arranged, and also have the toxicity that is detrimental to health easily.
(2) physical method: mainly be to utilize five kinds of main method such as high-temperature calcination, electron beam partial bombardment, the local bombardment of heavy ion beam and pulse laser, the little shadow technology of nanometer at present, wherein four of fronts mainly utilize a kind of film that makes to be subjected to thermal rupture to form surface of discontinuity, form molten state again, with by capillary physical influence, reach the result who aggregates into nano spherical particle.Last a kind of method then is the light shield that covers the special array of one deck in advance at substrate surface, for example, it is tightly packed to utilize the nano silicone ball of a certain specific dimensions closely to be arranged in six sides, utilize the space between the silicon ball, deposition layer of metal film just can obtain having regularly arranged trilateral nanoparticle array on this substrate.But aforementioned five kinds of methods have following shortcoming respectively:
(i) high-temperature calcination (High temperature annealing): when carrying out, the time that one section intensification and cooling must be arranged, cause consuming time for a long time and efficient is not good, and because intensification needs the time of length with cooling, the pattern of formed nanoparticle surface is difficult for evenly, and is gathered into the particle of greater particle size easily.
(ii) electron beam partial bombardment (e-beam irradiation): need to use expensive plant and instrument-electron beam gun, in addition, the each sphere of action of electron beam gun is limited, cause the surperficial limited of primary treatment, and can't on base material, make nanoparticle in large area, the relatively poor disappearance of the efficient of manufacturing is arranged equally.
The (iii) local bombardment of heavy ion beam (heavy ion irradiation): the same with beam bombardment, need to use expensive plant and instrument, and at every turn can only Local treatment and can't big area make nanoparticle, the not good disappearance of the efficient of manufacturing is arranged equally, and present application still is confined to academic research.
(iv) pulse laser (pulsed laser irradiation): at every turn can only handle among a small circle, handle the larger area effect though can reach by constantly moving around, but need expend the more time relatively, but and processing area still limited, this law is had equally makes the not good shortcoming of efficient.
(the v) little shadow technology of nanometer (Nanolithography): though this method can be made the nanoparticle array in a large number on substrate, but step is very loaded down with trivial details, also need to utilize organic solvent washing in the very consuming time and process, make the relatively poor disappearance with more not environmental protection of efficient and have.
Therefore, develop new nanoparticle manufacture method in order to improve the efficient of existing method for making, except reaching the purpose that reduces cost, can also be by the method for making newly developed that has reduced cost, add the utilization of nanoparticle characteristic, reach the existing known printing process effect that is beyond one's reach.
