Abstract

As nanoscience and nanotechnology advance, techniques for selective pattern growth have attracted significant attention. Silica nanoparticles (NPs) are used as a promising nanomaterials for bio-labeling, bio-imaging, and bio-sensing. In this study, silica NPs were synthesized by a sol-gel process using a modified Stöber method. In addition, the selective pattern growth of silica NPs was achieved by the surface functionalization of the substrate using a micro-contact printing technique of a hydrophobic treatment. The particle size of the as-synthesized silica NPs and morphology of selective pattern growth of silica NPs were characterized by FE-SEM. The contact angle by surface functionalization of the substrate was investigated using a contact angle analyzer. As a result, silica NPs were not observed on the hydrophobic surface of the OTS solution treatment, which was coated by spin coating. In contrast, the silica NPs were well coated on the hydrophilic surface after the KOH solution treatment. FE-SEM confirmed the selective pattern growth of silica NPs on a hydrophilic surface, which was functionalized using the micro-contact printing technique. If the characteristics of the selective pattern growth of silica NPs can be applied to dye-doped silica NPs, they will find applications in the bio imaging, and bio sensing fields.

나노과학과 나노기술의 발전에 따라 선택적 패턴 성장을 위한 기술이 주목을 받고 있다. 실리카(Silica) 나노입자는 바이오 라벨링, 바이오 이미징 및 바이오 센싱에 사용되고 있는 유망한 나노소재이다. 본 연구에서는 실리카 나노입자를 수정된 스토버 방법(Stöber Method)인 졸겔(Sol-Gel) 공정으로 합성하였다. 또한 기판의 표면을 미세접촉프린팅 기술로 발수 처리하여 실리카 나노입자를 선택적으로 패턴 성장시켰다. 합성된 실리카 나노입자의 크기와 선택적으로 패턴 성장된 실리카 나노입자의 표면형상을 전계방출 주사전자현미경(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, FE-SEM)으로 조사하였고, 기판의 표면 기능화에 따른 기판의 접촉각 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 OTS 용액으로 발수 처리된 기판에서는 실리카 나노입자를 스핀 코팅하였을 때, 실리카 나노입자를 관찰할 수 없었으나, KOH 용액으로 친수 처리된 기판에서는 실리카 나노입자가 잘 코팅되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 미세접촉프린팅 기술로 발수 처리한 기판영역 외에서만 실리카 나노입자가 선택적으로 패턴 성장하는 것을 FE-SEM으로 확인하였다. 이러한 실리카 나노입자의 패턴성장 특성을 염료가 도핑 된 실리카 나노입자에 적용한다면, 실리카 나노입자의 패턴 성장 기술은 바이오 이미징 및 바이오 센싱 분야에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
