Worgull M. Hot Embossing. Theory of Microreplication 2ed 2024

Textbook in PDF format Hot Embossing: Theory of Microreplication, Second Edition presents the current state-of-the-art in microreplication, with a focus on hot embossing, nanoimprint, thermoforming, and roll-to-roll replication. Polymer processing, the theory of polymers and the processing of polymers are discussed in detail. The book contains in-depth analysis of processing processes and replication techniques, including mold fabrication. Monitoring, data analysis and reliability of molded parts is also discussed. In this updated edition, new processes are included, such as the process of micro- and nanothermoforming to generate 3D structures and the hot pulling processes to generate hierarchical structures with high aspect ratios. Based on hot pulling, “Nanofur” for Oil-water-separation is a large-scale biomimetic application. Upscaling, especially the seamless roll-to-roll replication, is also explored. The book is designed to cover the entire workflow for a seamless lithographic sleeve. This new edition marks a substantial update of the previous edition, incorporating several new chapters. It is an important resource for materials scientists and engineers working in the areas of micro- and nanofabrication. Key Features Comprehensively updated to include new techniques, processes, and variables that have come to prominence in recent years Includes new chapters that address monitoring, properties of molded parts, 3D thermoforming, hot pulling, functional materials, smart surfaces, and upscaling by roll-2-roll Discusses the entire microreplication process, from theory and processes to technology and mold to surface-oriented applications Preface Acknowledgments Introduction Replication processes Hot embossing process Enhanced hot embossing processes Hot pulling Thermoforming Modeling and process simulation Fundamentals of polymers Polymer materials for hot embossing Enhanced embossing materials Process monitoring Quality control Hot embossing technology Hot embossing tools Mold inserts Functional biomimetic surfaces SMART surfaces Roll-to-roll embossing Roll-to-roll tooling Hot embossing applications Outlook Index
