Surface texturing

    Using micro- and nanostructures, we modify the properties of polymer surfaces without changing their composition.

    For this purpose, we develop tools and processes for high fidelity replication of functional surface structures:

    • Design and layout of functional surface topographies (biomimetics, calculations, simulation).
    • Fabrication of master structures by ultra-short pulse laser micromachining or lithography
    • Tool design and master integration
    • Component design and process simulation
    • Industrial replication technologies: injection (compression) molding, hot embossing, UV imprinting
    • Validation of functional samples
