  • Method for obtaining a nano capsule structure
    Patent number: 10351945
    Abstract: The method for obtaining a nano-capsule structure includes at least one layer of resin deposited on a layer of substrate. The capsule nanometric in size is capable of enabling the encapsulation of a compound. The layer of resin is structured, by low voltage electron lithography, or by optical lithography or by nanoimprinting in such a way as to obtain at least one cavity in the thickness of the layer of resin. The cavity has a depth smaller than the thickness of the layer of resin. At least one layer of an encapsulating material is isotropically deposited by sputtering the material under vacuum. The cavity is sealed with a sealing material. The layer of resin is dissolved by soaking in a suitable solvent.
