Polymer substrates overcome the limitations of rigid planar substrates in spatial deformation scenarios and can be combined with photolithography to fabricate complex, three-dimensional irregular polymer structures. Photothermal-shock tweezer is a laser trapping technique based on the photothermal shock effect. Photothermal-shock tweezer leverages pulsed laser induced transient photothermal shock to generate micro-newton-scale thermomechanical strain gradients force, enabling the capture and manipulation of micro/nano-objects at solid interfaces. Integrating this technique with polymer substrates can address the demands of new application scenarios.In this work, we use commonly employed polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and negative photoresist (SU-8) as polymer substrates, on which SiO2 nanofilms are fabricated using the sol-gel method. This approach effectively mitigates thermal damage caused by photothermal shock effects, enabling laser trapping and manipulation of micro/nano-objects.
SiO2 nanofilms, characterized by low thermal conductivity, effectively inhibit heat transfer. The nanofilm fabrication technique utilized in this study enables the synthesis of large-area SiO2 nanofilms with large-area coverage, low surface roughness (Rq ~ 320 pm) and uniform thickness, making it broadly applicable to flexible polymer substrates and irregular structures. Direct contact between the polymer layer and micro/nano-objects during photothermal shock tweezers manipulation can induce irreversible substrate degradation due to transient photothermal shock effects. Experimental results demonstrate that depositing an SiO2 nanofilm thicker than 110 nm on the polymer substrate significantly enhances thermal insulation and protection, effectively mitigating laser-induced damage under typical optical manipulation conditions.
Additionally, by analyzing the temperature field distribution of the gold nanosheet, PMMA substrate, and SiO2 nanofilm during a single photothermal shock trapping of a gold nanosheet, we found that the SiO2 nanofilm can reduce the PMMA surface temperature by at least 111 ºC and delay the time for PMMA to reach its peak temperature by 13.2 ns compared to the peak temperature time of the gold nanosheet. The experimental results expand the environmental media for laser trapping of objects, offering new possibilities for applications in micro/nano-manipulation, micro/nanorobotics, and micro/nano-optoelectronic devices.-
