Abstract
The present invention provides a fiber base sensor and the fabricating method thereof. More specifically, one of the main goals of the present invention is to solve the problem existing in the prior art of the failure of forming a plurality of nano-particles on the surface of the fiber base sensor evenly by utilizing self-assembly process with the nano-imprint process. Furthermore, the another goal of the present invention is to provide detail parameters required in the said nano-imprinting process for avoiding the efficiency drop caused by over-embedding the nano-particles into the fiber based sensor.
Claims10
A fiber based sensor fabricating method, comprising the following steps of:
- preparing a mold, a work surface of the mold having a nano-particles layer, wherein the nano-particles layer is formed on the work surface through a self-assembly process;
- preparing a work table;
- preparing a fiber material, comprising a substratum and a polymeric material layer disposed on the surface;
- putting the fiber material on the work table;
- adjusting the temperature of the mold to an operational temperature;
- adjusting the distance between the mold and work table for allowing the nano-particles layer to be contacted with the upper surface of the fiber material under a predetermined pressure;
- cooling the mold and the fiber material;
- and
- adjusting the distance between the mold and work table to keep the mold away from the work table for transferring the nano-particles layer to the polymeric material layer of the fiber material for the fabrication of the fiber base sensor.
