      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
