Abstract:Micro and nano sized features on surfaces enable new product functionalities. On the lab scale, this has been demonstrated for many applications e.g. for devices with tailored optical or mechanical properties. When process steps are scaled-up in order to establish high volume production, special care must be taken to guarantee the quality of the work pieces. When using (compression) injection moulding for mass production the melt viscosity is a key parameter to achieve good product qualities. In this paper, th… Show more
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.
