Improvement of tribological properties of silicon mold : a DoE approach
Silicon molds are widely used in various fabrication processes of micro-fluidic devices, such as casting, injection molding and micro hot embossing. However, silicon exhibits characteristics of high friction, adhesion and wear, causing difficulties in separation, distortions in the devices and a red...

| Summary: | Silicon molds are widely used in various fabrication processes of micro-fluidic devices, such as casting, injection molding and micro hot embossing. However, silicon exhibits characteristics of high friction, adhesion and wear, causing difficulties in separation, distortions in the devices and a reduction in the reliability and tool life of the mold. |
