title: Creating micro and nano structures in polymers by moulding.
abstract: Moulding micro and nano surface features and discrete micro components in polymers reproducibly and in large volumes is now possible. The factors involved in successful micro injection moulding operations, including component size, aspect ratio and surface area, are examined.
