Hot Embossing: Theory of Microreplication, Second Edition presents the current state of the art in microreplication with a focus on hot embossing, nanoimprint, thermoforming, and roll-to-roll replication. The book extensively covers polymer processing, polymer theory, and the processing intricacies involved. Comprehensive discussions are dedicated to process simulation, material models, and an in-depth analysis of processing techniques, including mold fabrication. Additionally, it addresses the monitoring, data analysis, and reliability aspects of molded parts.

The Second Edition incorporates new processes, such as micro- and nanothermoforming for generating 3D structures and hot pulling processes for creating hierarchical structures with high aspect ratios. Based on hot pulling, “Nanofur” for oil-water-separation is a large-scale biomimetic application. Upscaling, especially the seamless roll-to-roll replication, is also explored. Designed to cover the entire workflow for a seamless lithographic sleeve, this edition represents a significant update, introducing several new chapters. It serves as a valuable resource for materials scientists and engineers engaged in micro- and nanofabrication.
