Patent

CA 2282713

The present invention comprises an optically diffracting sensing device whose diffraction pattern changes upon exposure to some stimuli. The diffraction pattern may be two or three dimensional, and in one embodiment the change in diffraction patterns is recognizable to the untrained eye. The device comprises one or more gels coated onto patterned, self-assembling monolayers of alkanethiolates, carboxylic acids, hydroxamic acids, and phosphonic acids printed onto a variety of substrates, including glass, silicon, aluminum oxide, and thermoplastic films metallized with gold, or with an alloy such as nickel/gold. The present invention also comprises the method of making this device, and the use of this device.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de détection de diffraction optique dont un modèle de diffraction varie en fonction d'une exposition à certains stimulants. Le modèle de diffraction peut être bidimensionnel ou tridimensionnel et selon un mode de réalisation la variation des modèles de diffraction peut être reconnue par un oeil amateur. Le dispositif comprend un ou plusieurs gels déposés sur des monocouches auto-assemblables imprimées d'alkanéthiolates, des acides carboxyliques, des acides hydroxamiques et des acides phosphoniques imprimés sur une variété de substrats comprenant du verre, du silicium, de l'oxyde d'aluminium et des couches minces thermoplastiques métallisées avec l'or ou avec un alliage tel que du nickel/or. La présente invention concerne également le procédé fabrication dudit dispositif et son utilisation.
