Many fields of industry are looking for growth from miniaturisation. Because competition is increasing, costs are becoming more important in mass production. These are the driving forces for improving and developing micro injection moulding and replication technologies. This experimental study was carried out to replicate sub-micrometre features using the micro injection moulding technique. For the experiments, polycarbonate (PC) was selected because of its flow properties. The effects of processing parameters on the replication properties were observed. The best replication results were achieved when a small injection piston diameter and large shot size were used in micro injection moulding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
