Polymer injection molding of micro/nano structured devices
Abstract eng: Tooling is critical in replicating multi-scale patterns for mass production of polymer microfluidic devices using the microinjection molding process. The present work compares the fabrication of various micro/nano structured tool inserts using stainless steel, nickel and Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs). Tool performance is evaluated in terms of surface roughness, hardness and tool life. Compared to stainless steel, nickel and BMGs are capable of integrating length scales from 100 to 10-8 m and are good candidates to rapidly produce polymer microfluidic chip components in mass manufacturing quantities.
