본 연구는 미세유동칩을 이용하여 당의 일종인 cyclodextrine(CD)과 알루미늄 이온 검출이 가능한 polydiacetylene(PDA)이 집적된 미세섬유를 제작하는 방법을 제안한다. PDA는 공액 고분자의 일종으로 외부 자극에 대해 blue-to-red 색 전이 및 형광이 발현되며 원료가 되는 PCDA의 head group에 따라 자극에 대한 감도가 달라지는 매력적인 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 이온간 교차결합으로 야기되는 하이드로젤 형성 메커니즘과 미세유동칩 내 3차원 유체집속효과를 활용하여 PCDA-EDEA 기반의 diacetylene(DA) 단량체가 집적된 센서 섬유를 제작하였다. 섬유 내 DA 단량체는 UV에 의해 파란색의 PDA로 상 전이가 일어나며 CD나 알루미늄 이온에 반응하여 붉은색으로의 색 전이 및 붉은 형광이 발현되는 특성을 보였다. 또한 형광세기는 CD와 금속 이온의 농도에 따라 변화하는 특성을 나타내었다. 이는 미세섬유가 건조된 경우에도 동일하게 관찰되었다.

Microfluidic chips have been frequently utilized to perform biochemical analysis, like cell culture, because they reduce the consumptions of analytes and reagents and automate multi-step analysis processes. It is often critical to monitor temperature in a microchannel for the analyses in order to control a reaction condition of bio or chemical molecules. We propose a novel method to monitor temperature of a microchannel flow by using polydiacetylene (PDA), a conjugated polymer, that has a unique property to transform its color from visible blue to fluorescent red by thermal stress. We inject PDA sensor droplets generated by hydrodynamic instability into a microchannel with a microheater incorporated on the channel bottom. Also, we change the channel temperature by providing the different electric power to the microheater. The results show that the florescence intensity of PDA sensor droplets linearly increases in response to the flow temperature increase within a certain range.

Polydiacetylenes (PDAs) are very attractive chemical substances which have distinctive features of color change and fluorescence emission by thermal or chemical stress. Especially, when PDAs contact with solutions of a particular pH, such as a strong alkaline sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution or a strong acidic hydrogen chloride (HCl) solution, PDAs change their color from non-fluorescent blue to fluorescent red. In this study, we propose a novel method to detect alkaline pH using PDAs and NaOH solutions by hydrodynamic focusing on a microfluidic chip. Preliminary results indicate that the fluorescent intensity of PDAs increases in respond to the NaOH solution concentrations. Also, the fluorescence is quenched back when the PDAs are in contact with a HCl solution. These results are useful in a microfluidic PDA sensor chip design for pH detection.

Polydiacetylene (PDA) is chemosensor materials that exhibit non-fluorescent-to-fluorescent transition as well as blue-to-red visible color change upon chemical or thermal stress. They have been studied in forms of film or microarray chip, so far. In this paper, we provide a novel technique to fabricate continuous micro-fiber PDA sensor using in-situ laser-polymerization technique and 3-D hydrodynamic focusing on a microfluidic chip. The flow of a monomer solution with diacetylene (DA) monomer is focused by a sheath flow on a 3-D microfluidic chip. The focused flow is exposed to 365 nm UV laser beam for in-situ polymerization which generates a continuous fiber containing DA monomers. Then, the fiber is exposed to 254 nm UV light to polymerize DA monomers to PDA. Preliminary results indicate that the fiber size can be controlled by the flow rates of the monomer solution and sheath flows and that a PDA sensor fiber successively responds to chemical and thermal stress.
