In the field of hot embossing of polymers for microfluidic devices, there is a lack of research into the performance of molds (dies) made of silicon, epoxy and TOPAS® COC grade 6017 (polymer of higher Tg) under identical experimental conditions, although all 3 materials have a set of promising advan...
