... Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT), Aachen. The moulded part is a circular disc with a diameter of 80 mm. The mould insert features pyramidal structures with a grid measuring 15 x 15 µm2 on an area measuring 20 x 20 mm2. The apex angle of the pyramids is 90° and the structure is roughly 7 µm deep. A second, sawtooth structure was applied by milling. The structure covers almost the entire moulded part surface and is 100 and 200 µm wide and 8 and 16 µ...
