Summary
Hot embossing is a technique used to create micro- and nano-scale patterns on polymer surfaces. It involves pressing a patterned mold, typically made of metal or silicon, into a polymer substrate that has been heated above its glass transition temperature. The heat softens the polymer, allowing it to conform to the shape of the mold. Upon cooling, the polymer solidifies, replicating the mold’s pattern. This method is versatile and can be used for a variety of applications, including the fabrication of microfluidic devices, optical components, and security features.
