熔融石英玻璃是科研、工业和社会最重要的高性能材料之一。然而，由于其高的耐化学性和耐热性以及高硬度，熔融石英玻璃是众所周知的难以结构化。这项工作介绍了玻璃体，固体纳米复合材料，它可以使用聚合物成型和减法技术在亚微米分辨率结构。经过聚合物加工后，Glassomer在最终热处理过程中转变为光学级熔融石英玻璃。所得玻璃具有与商业熔融石英相同的光学透明度和具有几纳米粗糙度的光滑表面。这项工作使高性能熔融石英玻璃组件可用于高通量制造技术，并将在科学和工业中实现众多光学，光子和医疗应用。
Fused silica glass is one of the most important high-performance materials for scientific research, industry, and society. However due to its high chemical and thermal resistance as well as high hardness, fused silica glass is notoriously difficult to structure. This work introduces Glassomer, a solid nanocomposite, which can be structured using polymer molding and subtractive technologies at submicrometer resolution. After polymer processing Glassomer is turned into optical grade fused silica glass during a final heat treatment. The resulting glass has the same optical transparency as commercial fused silica and a smooth surface with a roughness of a few nanometers. This work makes high-performance fused silica glass components accessible to high-throughput fabrication technologies and will enable numerous optical, photonic and medical applications in science and industry.
