Polymer Replication Nanoscale 2022
The Polymer Replication on Nanoscale (PRN) conference series has been held previously in Denmark, Switzerland and Germany and is established as an important international forum for leading experts to exchange latest developments, research findings and future vision for polymer micro/nano manufacturing and its applications.
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 8th International PRN Conference.
The conference will address issues in large scale replication of micro- and nanostructures in polymer materials including:
- Manufacturing of micro/nano structured molds, inserts or shims for polymer replication
- Industrial replication technologies, injection molding, roll-to-roll techniques and other innovative processes
- Materials for replication of polymer micro- and nanostructures
- Applications for functional micro- and nanostructured polymer surfaces, and polymeric micro/nano devices
- Metrology and characterization of micro- and nanostructured polymer surfaces
- Simulation and computing of different phenomena in micro- and nanoscale replication
