Bioinspired material based on femtosecond laser machining of cast sheet micromolding as a pattern transfer process
We present herein a simple, fast, and easy-to-use process to replicate poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) plates generating surface effects. First, a femtosecond laser has been used to fabricate, with sufficient accuracy, a periodic pattern on a glass plate at the microscale. This glass plate, used as...

| Zusammenfassung: | We present herein a simple, fast, and easy-to-use process to replicate poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) plates generating surface effects. First, a femtosecond laser has been used to fabricate, with sufficient accuracy, a periodic pattern on a glass plate at the microscale. This glass plate, used as a master, can be structured on a large distance with a good control of its roughness. Then, the polymer plates were obtained by bulk polymerization without any solvents with a good replication from the cast sheet process, which has been industrially performed for years. Thus, the modification of this process, environmentally friendly, lets us foresee new applications for commodity polymers by introducing visual iridescent properties and hydrophobicity exaltation |
