Method for depositing nano-objects on the surface of a polymer gel comprising zones with distinct rigidities

Filed:2019-02-27Pub:2026-04-21
Applicant:Centre national de la recherche scientifique

The invention concerns a method for depositing nano-objects on the surface of a gel comprising a polymer matrix having at least two contiguous zones of distinct rigidities, said method comprising the steps of: a) providing a gel comprising a polymer matrix and a solvent within the polymer matrix, the polymer matrix forming a three-dimensional array capable of swelling in the presence of said solvent, wherein the solubility of the polymer matrix, at 1 bar and 25° C., in the solvent is less than 1 g/L, the polymer matrix comprising at least two contiguous zones of distinct rigidities having a rigidity gradient greater than or equal to 0.1 kPa/μm, then b) depositing nano-objects on the surface of the gel, then c) evaporating the solvent from the gel at least until the variation of the rate of evaporation of the solvent from the at least one least rigid zone of the gel is not constant over time, by which the nano-objects migrate towards the at least one most rigid zone of the gel and a gel is obtained for which the surface is at least partially coated with nano-objects, and wherein the density per unit area of nano-objects of the at least one most-rigid zone among the at least two contiguous zones is greater than that of the at least one least-rigid zone among the at least two contiguous zones, the gel that can be obtained and its applications.
