Description

Microtubule robot and assembling, driving and radial extrusion method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to an assembling and operating method of a micro-pipe robot, in particular to a micro-pipe robot and an assembling, driving and radial extrusion method thereof.
Background
The complex assembly and disassembly processes of the individual can perform advanced functions such as microtubules in biological membranes, can act as a pathway for intracellular protein transport, and regulate the dynamic migration of cells. Colloid is an ideal artificial assembly unit, but the microtubule structure formed in the current research does not have the complex functions of natural microtubules. Particularly for aggregates formed by isotropic assembled units (spheres), complex structures such as microtubes have not been reported.
Currently, there are available artificially prepared microtubule structures such as closed loops formed by DNA modified Janus particles (j.s.oh et al, nat.commun.10,3936 (2019)), bipolar loops and ribbon structures formed by magnetic Janus rods (j.yan et al, nat.commun.4,1516 (2013)), and tubular microstructures assembled by oval particles under the action of an electric field (j.j.crassous et al, nat.commun.5,5516 (2014)), which are simple and single in function, do not have radial repeated extrusion effect, and are only suitable for newton fluids, and have limited application range.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to: in order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the invention aims to provide an assembling method which can be used for reversible repeated assembly, is suitable for Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluid and has a large diameter regulation range, and a further aim of the invention is to provide a driving method of a microtube robot which can accurately control the driving direction and speed.
The technical scheme is as follows: the invention relates to an assembly method of a microtubule robot, which comprises the following steps:
in Newtonian fluid or non-Newtonian fluid, the mass percentage is 0.05-2wt.%, and dispersed paramagnetic colloid particles are aggregated under the action of an oscillating magnetic field to form a two-dimensional single-layer colloid film;
step two, applying a direct current magnetic field and gradually increasing the magnetic field intensity, wherein the direct current magnetic field is perpendicular to the oscillating magnetic field, and the single-layer colloid film is broken into thin slices along with the increase of the in-plane repulsive force, and the thin slices are converted into a perpendicular xy plane from a parallel xy plane;
and thirdly, applying a precession magnetic field, bending and folding the thin sheet to form the microtube robot with the compact hollow tubular structure.
Further, the magnetic colloid particles are one or more of ferric oxide, ferroferric oxide, iron and composite materials thereof. The composite material may be a substrate of non-magnetic material, which is then coated, doped, implanted or otherwise treated with paramagnetic material, preferably polystyrene colloidal particles doped with iron oxide.
Further, the magnetic colloidal particles have a particle diameter of 200nm to 30. Mu.m. The larger the diameter of the magnetic colloid particles, the smaller the number of magnetic colloid particles required to compose the microtube robot. The concentration of the magnetic colloid particle dispersion liquid also affects the diameter and the length of the microtube robot assembled, and the larger the concentration of the magnetic colloid particles is, the larger the area of the formed colloid film is, and the larger the size of the microtube robot is finally assembled. The micro-tube robot has a large application range because of a large number of adjustable factors of the size of the micro-tube robot. For example, the 200nm microsphere can be assembled into a microtube with a diameter of a few micrometers, and can be suitable for physiological systems; and the colloidal microspheres with larger sizes can be assembled into a micro-pipe robot with the size of hundreds of micrometers for capturing and transporting cargoes with larger diameters.
Further, the magnetic colloidal particles may be surface-modified, such as by coating with one or more of hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials, positively and negatively charged molecules, antibacterial materials, anticoagulant materials, proteinaceous materials, and anticancer drugs. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials or materials with positive and negative charges can change the action effect of the microsphere and the surface of the substrate. The antibacterial material is one or more of silver or silver ions, quaternary ammonium salts, tetracycline and fluoroquinolones. The anticoagulant material is dextran, cytarabine, clopidogrel, aspirin or other platelet-resistant materials. The protein material connects the surface containing the protein coating with the surface of the substrate by physical adsorption or covalent coupling, including selectins. The anticancer drugs including taxol, docetaxel, etc. can be connected through the surface of the functionalized colloid microsphere without any adverse effect on the magnetism of the colloid particle. The magnetic colloid particles of the micro-tube robot can be used to provide radiation therapy to a location within the patient. For example, the magnetic field is changed to heat the micro-robot, so that local hyperthermia is caused, and the effects of treating tumor diseases and the like are realized.
Further, the surface of the magnetic colloid particles can be smooth, and other materials can be polymerized for modification, such as gold plating thorns, so that the surface roughness of the micro-robot is increased, and the rotation translation efficiency of the micro-robot is increased.
Further, in the first step, the newtonian fluid comprises deionized water containing a surfactant, the non-newtonian fluid comprises sheep whole blood, and the factors influencing the assembly process are mainly fluid viscosity. The application range depends on the response degree of paramagnetic microspheres to magnetic fields. The paramagnetic microsphere with weak response is suitable for fluid with low viscosity, and conversely, the response degree of the paramagnetic microsphere can be followed to enhance the viscosity of the fluid.
Further, in the first step, the oscillating magnetic field isWherein B is ost For oscillating magnetic field, B xy For xy plane AC magnetic field strength, ω M =2πf M For the rotation angular velocity, f M =50hz is the magnetic field frequency,is the direction of the magnetic field vector.
Further, in the second step, the direct current magnetic fieldWherein B is z Is the intensity of direct current magnetic field in the z direction, +.>Is the direction of the magnetic field vector.
Further, in step three, the precession magnetic fieldWherein B is prec B is a precessional magnetic field xy For xy plane AC magnetic field strength, B z Is the intensity of direct current magnetic field in the z direction omega M =2πf M For the rotation angular velocity, f M =20-50 Hz is the magnetic field frequency, +.>For the direction of the magnetic field vector, arctan (B xy /B z ) 8-20 degrees.
The microtubule robot obtained by the assembly method is a metastable hollow tubular structure assembled by paramagnetic colloid particles under the action of a magnetic field, and after all the magnetic fields are removed, the microtubule robot is disintegrated into paramagnetic colloid particles, and repeated assembly can be realized by the assembly method again.
The invention relates to a driving method of a microtubule robot, which comprises the following steps: applying a driving magnetic field B prec ' as driving magnetic field, B yz For yz plane AC magnetic field strength, B x ,B y ,B z Is the direct current magnetic field intensity in the x direction, the y direction or the z direction. Omega M =2πf M For the rotation angular velocity, f M =10-40 Hz is the magnetic field frequency, +.>Is the direction of the magnetic field vector. B (B) z And (B) x +B y ) The inclination degree theta of the proportional control microtube relative to the z axis is linear relationMicrotubule driving direction and DC magnetic field->And->The magnetic field vector is perpendicular to the projection direction on the xy plane; driving magnetic field B prec The' magnetic field strength adjusts the angular velocity ω of the inclined microtubule rotation. The relation between the displacement velocity V and the rotation angular velocity omega of the microtubule with the diameter R is V-omega Rsin theta.
The invention relates to a radial extrusion method of a microtubule robot, which comprises the following steps: in a direct current magnetic fieldApplying an oscillating magnetic field B to the micro-pipe robot in the presence of ost The micropipe robot is rapidly compressed along the radial direction, and the compression degree and the oscillating magnetic field B ost The magnetic field intensity is positively correlated, and the oscillating magnetic field B is removed ost Microtubules slowly recover. Repeatedly applying oscillating magnetic field B ost The microtubule can be circularly extruded.
Further, the strength of the applied magnetic field component depends on the magnetic responsiveness of the magnetic colloid particles used. If the colloidal particles have a strong magnetic response, a lower magnetic field strength will have an effect on them. The assembly time is mainly dependent on the initial concentration of colloidal particles, and high concentrations of colloidal particles help to quickly form a sufficiently large colloidal film structure that assembly will be completed more quickly.
Further, the means for generating a magnetic field includes a magnet in a large-sized apparatus such as CT or NMR, a plurality of electromagnetic coils of a small-sized magnetic field apparatus, a means for generating a magnetic field by applying a current or a charge to a conductive material, a plurality of magnets, and the like. The magnetic field can be controlled in three-dimensional directions (namely x, y and z), so that the inclination degree, the rotation direction, the rotation speed and the displacement direction of the micro-tube robot can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the components of the magnetic field.
The preparation principle is as follows: superparamagnetic microspheres may exhibit different modes of aggregation under the actuation of specific magnetic fields. When different magnetic field components are applied by the program, the superparamagnetism microsphere and the monodisperse superparamagnetism microsphere in the assembled state can have different aggregation forms, so that the preparation mode of the hollow tubular metastable state structure with non-minimum energy state is assembled by the application of the magnetic field by the program.
The beneficial effects are that: compared with the prior art, the invention has the following remarkable characteristics:

4. the microtubule robot can realize two cargo carrying modes, one is a contactless cargo carrying mode, and the microtubules form vortex in the rolling process to drive cargoes to move; the other is to roll to the vicinity of the target goods through the magnetic field control microtubule, and adjust the magnetic field control microtubule to erect again so as to capture the target goods;

Detailed Description
In the following embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, a double-layer hollow copper coil 1 is stacked by sleeving a doll to realize the stacking of direct current and alternating current fields in the three-dimensional (x, y, z) direction. The sample is placed at the cavity 2.
Example 1
A method of assembling a microtubule robot comprising the steps of:
(1) The superparamagnetic colloidal particle suspension was diluted with 0.5wt.% sodium dodecyl sulfate as a diluent and 10 μl of the suspension was sandwiched between two transparent glass plates. The glass sheet was placed in the magnetic field generating device shown in fig. 1.
(2) The dispersed superparamagnetic colloidal particles (mass fraction 0.2 wt.%) are in an oscillating magnetic field Under the action of aggregation, a two-dimensional single-layer colloid film is formed, as shown in figure 2Ai, wherein B ost For oscillating magnetic field, B xy For xy plane AC magnetic field strength, ω M =2πf M For the rotation angular velocity, f M =50hz is the magnetic field frequency,is the direction of the magnetic field vector. The strength of the magnetic field applied in this example: b (B) xy =3.62mT,ω M =100πrad s -1
(3) Applying a magnetic fieldAnd gradually increasing the magnetic field strength, the whole single-layer colloid film is broken into a flake structure due to the increased in-plane repulsive force.

The lamellae are inclined upwards with respect to the xy-plane. Removing oscillating magnetic field B ost The lamellae are perpendicular to the xy plane and only in B z The structure of the vertical slice is kept intact under the action of the air, and the stability of the vertical slice structure is verified, as shown in the Aii-iv of FIG. 2. The magnetic field strength B applied in the embodiment z =2.76mT。

The strength of the magnetic field applied in this example: b (B) xy =1.09mT,B z =2.76mT,ω M =60πrad s -1 . Due to the difference in rotational mobility, one end of the sheet continues to curl after contact with the body until a dense hollow tubular structure is formed, as shown in fig. 2 Bi-vi. The components of the rotating field are different and the resulting stable structure is not identical. Forming microtubule robot B xy And B is connected with z The scale of (a) is the range marked by dots in FIG. 3, arctanB xy /B z =8~20°。
(5) Once the microtubes are formed, only the direct current component B in the z-axis is retained z Microtubes remain stable, which confirms the stability of the tubular assemblyQualitatively, as in FIG. 2Bvii, the applied magnetic field strength B z =2.76mT。
This example demonstrates the assembly process of a microtubule robot, stability of the microtubule. The simple isotropic superparamagnetic colloid particles are assembled into a hollow structure in a micro-tube shape through a designed assembly path, and it is to be noted that a plurality of micro-tubes can be formed in each assembly, and the number of micro-balls assembled into the micro-tubes is different, so that the diameters and the lengths of the micro-tubes are also different.
Example 2
The present example shows that superparamagnetic microspheres of different sizes are assembled into a microtubule robot in the same assembly path.
Superparamagnetic microspheres of different sizes were diluted with 0.5wt.% sodium dodecyl sulfate as diluent and 10 μl of the suspension was sandwiched between two transparent glass plates. The glass sheet was placed in the magnetic field apparatus shown in fig. 1.
The assembly procedure was the same as in example 1.

The field intensity applied by the 30 mu m superparamagnetic microsphere in the assembly process is B ost :B xy =3.62~5.43mT,B z =2.76~4.6mT,ω M =100πrad s -1 。B prec :B xy =1.09mT,B z =2.76~4.6mT,ω M =60πrad s -1
As shown in FIG. 4, the hollow microtube structure was successfully assembled by the superparamagnetic microspheres of 30 μm and 200 nm.
Example 3
This example shows the assembly of superparamagnetic microspheres into a microtubule robot in newtonian or non-newtonian fluids.
Superparamagnetic microsphere suspension (final concentration 0.2 wt.%) of 4.5 μm diameter was diluted with 0.5wt.% sodium dodecyl sulfate as diluent (newtonian fluid) or sheep whole blood (non-newtonian fluid) and 10 μl of the suspension was sandwiched between two transparent glass plates. The glass sheet was placed in the magnetic field apparatus shown in fig. 1.
The assembly procedure was the same as in example 1.
In newtonian fluids, the applied magnetic field strength is the same as in example 1.
In a non-Newtonian fluid, the applied magnetic field strength is B ost :B xy =5.43mT,B z =4.6mT,ω M =100πrad s -1 。B prec :B xy =1.09~1.45mT,B z =4.6mT,ω M =60πrad s -1
Final assembly effect: in both newtonian (fig. 5) and non-newtonian (fig. 6) fluids, the assembly of superparamagnetic microspheres into hollow microtube structures is achieved.
Example 4
This example demonstrates the functional roles of a micropipe robot such as motion control, loading, radial dynamic compression, etc.
To demonstrate the cargo effect of the microspheres, a suspension of superparamagnetic microspheres of diameter 4.5 μm (final concentration 0.2 wt.%) was diluted with 0.5wt.% sodium dodecyl sulfate as a diluent, and polystyrene microspheres of diameter 10 μm (final concentration 0.001 wt.%) were added to the above suspension as cargo. 10. Mu.L of the suspension was sandwiched between two transparent glass plates. The glass sheet was placed in the magnetic field generating device shown in fig. 1.
The assembly procedure was the same as in example 1.
The strength of the magnetic field applied in this example: b (B) ost :B xy =3.62mT,B z =2.76mT,ω M =100πrad s -1 。B prec :B xy =1.09mT,B z =2.76mT,ω M =60πrad s -1
The microtubule robot formed by the embodiment can precisely control the direction and the speed of the movement through an external magnetic field. The external magnetic field isB prec ' as driving magnetic field, B yz For yz plane AC magnetic field strength, B x ,B y ,B z Is the direct current magnetic field intensity in the x direction, the y direction or the z direction. Omega M =2πf M For the rotation angular velocity, f M =10-40 Hz is the magnetic field frequency, +.>Is the direction of the magnetic field vector. The applied magnetic field strength in this embodiment is: b (B) yz =1.81~2.71mT,B x =0~1.8mT,B y =0~1.8mT,B z =1.38mT,ω M =60πrad s -1 . Unlike the magnetoelastic film, the micropipe robot is propelled as a rigid whole due to the restriction of movement between particles, avoiding severe fluid resistance and improving the driving efficiency.
The microtubule robot mainly adopts a rolling mode to move. B (B) z And (B) x +B y ) The inclination degree theta of the proportional control microtube relative to the z axis is linear relationThe θ range may be between about 0 ° (i.e., upright orientation relative to the surface) and 90 ° (i.e., lying flat on the surface), as shown in fig. 7. A greater degree of tilting will result in greater transmission efficiency and a faster forward speed at the same drive strength. Compared with other rotationally driven micro robots, the micro robot in this embodiment has higher conversion efficiency of rotational translation, as shown in fig. 8.
The important parameters in the motion process of the microtubule robot are microtubule displacement speed V, microtubule diameter R, microtubule rotation angular speed omega, and translational-rotational speed relation V-omega Rsin theta, as shown in figure 9. Compared with other micro robots (1.Tierno, et al, phys. Rev. Lett.101,218304 (2008); 2.Zhang, et al, appl. Phys. Lett.94,064107 (2009); 3.Martinez-Pedro, et al, phys. Rev. Appl.3,051003 (2015); 4.yang, et al, proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.117,18186-18193 (2020); 5.Tottori, et al, adv. Mat.24,811-816 (2012); 6.Ghosh, et al, nano Lett.9,2243-2245 (2009); 7.Yat, et al, sci. Robot.4, eaaw9525 (2019); 8.Zhang, et al, ACS, na4, 6228-6234 (2012)), the efficiency of rotation is increased by 3%, the present embodiment is significantly improved by about 50% in the order of the machine.
In addition to the displacement speed, the driving direction can also be manipulated by varying the combination of magnetic field components. Microtubule driving direction and DC magnetic fieldAnd->The magnetic field vector is perpendicular to the projection direction on the xy plane. In this example, to demonstrate the ability to control the direction of microtubule drive, microtubules are maneuvered to advance in a closed trajectory, as shown in FIG. 10.
The hollow structure of micropipe robots makes them well suited for the capture and transport of cargo. Two capture modes were explored in this example: contactless vortex capture and active proximity cargo capture. In mode 1, a fast rotating microtube creates eddy currents and the fluid creates a force trap to capture cargo. Thus, the captured cargo can move without contact with the microtubes, as in fig. 11. The angular velocity ω of the microtubes is linearly related to the displacement velocity of the styrene microspheres driven by the microtube vortex, as shown in fig. 12, the shape represents different samples, the hollow represents microtubes, and the solid represents microspheres. In mode 2, the microtube direction is adjusted, moving to the top of the cargo to capture it, since the magnetic field can exert precise drive direction control (fig. 10). Once trapped inside, the cargo can move with the microtubes as shown in fig. 13. The diameter of the micropipe robot can be controlled by the volume of colloidal particles constituting the micropipe, and the concentration of the colloidal particle suspension. The volume of the capturable goods ranges from a few micrometers to hundreds of micrometers, and the range comprises various cells, bacteria and the like in the physiological environment, so that the capturable goods can be used for capturing and separating the cells, the bacteria and the like in the physiological environment, and testing the mechanical properties such as extrusion and the like. Compared to other micro-robots lasso (t.yang et al, langmuir 33,5932-5937 (2017)), the larger hollow structure of microtubes is more suitable for capturing cargo.
The micro-pipe robot has a unique radial dynamic periodic compression function, as shown in fig. 14A. Since microtubules are assembled by dipole interactions between microspheresAssembled so that the structure is highly reconfigurable under the influence of an external field. At B z Applying an oscillating field while maintaining the stable existence of the micro-pipe robot B ost :B xy =0~3.15mT,B z =2.76mT,ω M =100πrad s -1 . Microtubes can undergo dynamic, periodic compression without fracturing fig. 14A for one compression cycle. The microtubules in this example can withstand at least 90 compressions and decompressions without any structural disruption, as shown in fig. 14B, further confirming the stability of the microtubule structure. During compression, the cross-section of the microtube is deformed into an ellipse and the axial ratio between the minor axis and the major axis is decreased by increasing the field strength. At the highest field strength in the experiment, the microtubes in this example have been compressed into almost two parallel layers (see FIG. 15, B ost =3.15 mT), but still not ruptured.
Example 5
The present example demonstrates the effect of a microtubule robot on cell extrusion. Superparamagnetic microspheres with a diameter of 2.7 μm were chosen, and the assembled microtube diameter was close to the human red blood cell diameter to demonstrate a more pronounced extrusion effect.
Superparamagnetic microsphere suspension (final concentration 0.2 wt.%) with 2.7 μm diameter diluted with physiological saline or phosphate buffer solution containing 1wt.% bovine serum albumin was added to human erythrocytes (0.01 wt.%). 10. Mu.L of the suspension was sandwiched between two transparent glass plates. The glass sheet was placed in the magnetic field generating device shown in fig. 1.
The assembly procedure was the same as in example 1. The applied magnetic field strength is B ost :B xy =3.6mT,B z =2.76mT,ω M =100πrad s -1 。B prec :B xy =1.45mT,B z =2.76mT,ω M =60πrad s -1 . In the extrusion process, the applied magnetic field strength is B ost :B xy =3.15mT,B z =2.76mT,ω M =100πrad s -1
The micro-pipe robot in the embodiment can serve as movable micro tweezers by virtue of the unique radial dynamic periodic compression non-breaking function. In this embodiment, when soft objects such as red blood cells are trapped in the microtube, observable deformation occurs during compression due to compressive forces from forces between adjacent particles, as shown in FIG. 16. Thus, our microtubules can act as mobile micro tweezers, which is a potential tool for soft capsules to release drugs.
