CASTING MICROSTRUCTURES INTO STIFF AND DURABLE MATERIALS FROM A FLEXIBLE AND REUSABLE MOLD

摘要

Described are methods for making microstructured flexible molds, for example useful for making microstructured metal objects in a casting process. Also described are casting methods for making microstructured epoxy objects. In some embodiments, the microstructured metal and epoxy objects are useful for embossing polymer sheets to form microstructured polymer sheets.
