METHOD OF PRODUCING FINELY STRUCTURED GEL

摘要

[Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method of producing a fine polymer gel, in which the gel can be manufactured in large quantities in short time period by a very simple method, without the need for elaborate equipment. [Solution] The present invention is a method of producing a finely structured gel shaped according to a pattern, the method comprising a step in which a polymerizable monomer aqueous solution containing a polymerizable monomer component is dripped onto a portion of the surface of a substrate having a pattern constituted of fine grooves on the surface; a step of transporting, by capillary action, the polymerizable monomer aqueous solution along the interior of the grooves constituting the pattern; and a step of polymerizing the polymerizable monomer aqueous solution in the interior of the grooves.
