Self-Assembled Monolayers of Alkanethiols on Nickel Insert: Characterization of Friction and Analysis on Demolding Quality in Microinjection Molding

When the part geometry scaling down from macro to microscale level, the size-induced surface effect becomes significant in the injection molding process. The adhesion between polymer and nickel (Ni) mold insert during the process can lead to defects in necking, warping and deformation of microstruct...
