TLDR
In this paper, the physical, mechanical and tribological properties of various surface coatings and their impact on the replication efficiency and lifetime of micro/nano-molds that are used in micro-nano hot-embossing and injection molding processes are discussed.Abstract:
Micro/nano hot-embossing and injection molding are two promising manufacturing processes for the mass production of workpieces bearing micro/nanoscale features. However, both the workpiece and micro/nano-mold are susceptive to structural damage due to high thermal stress, adhesion and friction, which occur at the interface between the workpiece and the mold during these processes. Hence, major constraints of micro/nano-molds are mainly attributed to improper replication and their inability to withstand a prolonged sliding surface contact because of high sidewall friction and/or high adhesion. Consequently, there is a need for proper surface coating as it can improve the surface properties of micro/nano-molds such as having a low friction coefficient, low adhesion and low wear rate. This review deals with the physical, mechanical and tribological properties of various surface coatings and their impact on the replication efficiency and lifetime of micro/nano-molds that are used in micro/nano hot-embossing and injection molding processes.read more

Frictional Characteristics of Atomically-Thin Sheets
TL;DR: Using friction force microscopy, the nanoscale frictional characteristics of atomically thin sheets of graphene, molybdenum disulfide, niobium diselenide, and hexagonal boron nitride are compared to those of their bulk counterparts, suggesting that the trend arises from the thinner sheets’ increased susceptibility to out-of-plane elastic deformation.
