Micro- and nano-structuring of metals and polymers.

Micro- and nano-structuring of metals and polymers.

Micro-structuring of metals and polymers.

This comprises a set of technologies with the objective of micro-structuring basically metallic materials (including processes such as micro-milling, micro electro-erosion, laser ablation, electrochemical machining and electron beam machining), and a second group with the objective of micro-structuring polymeric materials (through processes such as microinjection and hot embossing).

Nano-structuring of materials by laser technology.

Development of the laser interference lithography (LIL) technique, consisting of printing a material by ablation of an interference pattern originated by several laser beams, in which the number of interfering beams is a decisive parameter in the intensity pattern generated.

Nano-structuring of materials by means of nanoprinting technology .

Using printing lithography, an alternative low-cost, high-performance lithographic technique that defines models by the mechanical deformation of a polymer on a scale of less than 100 nanometers, and in which the resolution of the technology is given by the resolution of the mould/pattern or stamp made in another material.
