From: Rapid replication and facile modulation of subwavelength antireflective polymer film using injection nanomolding and optical property of multilayer coatings

Method

Characteristics

Applications (other than antireflective coatings)

References

Micro-replication process (MRP)

Capable of creating nano/micro features on substrates of slicon or plastics. By combining three major steps of micro/nanostructure masters, metallic mold electroplating and replication into plastics.

Backlight guide plate, grating, micro-mirror arrays, photonic crystals and other micro/nano features

Roll-to-roll (R2R) printing

Capable of creating electronic devices on flexible substrates (plastics or metal foil) Typically includes steps of coatings, printing, laminating, re-reeling, and rewinding processes

Organic light emitting diodes (OLED), thin film solar cells, optical brightness enhancement films or organic thin film transistors (OFET)

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO)

By anodizing high-purity aluminum to generate a porous alumina membrane as templates such that a closed-packed hexagonal array of columnar cells can be obtained. Typically, can be categorized as a self-ordering synthesis of nanopores

Molecular separation, energy generation and storage, electronics, photonics, sensors (biosensors), drug delivery, and template synthesis
