Abstract
A process for making an article having a structured surface. The process comprises providing a tool that comprises a negative of a desired structured surface, contacting the negative surface of the tool with a fluorochemical benzotriazole to form a coated surface thereon, contacting the coated tool to a resin to form the structured surface on the resin, and removing the resin from the tool to form an article having a surface having the desired positive structured surface.
Claims19
A method of making a polymeric article having a desired structured surface comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a tool that comprises a negative surface of the desired structured surface;
- (b) contacting the negative surface of the tool with a composition comprising a fluorochemical benzotriazole to provide a coated negative surface;
- (c) contacting the coated negative surface with a resin to create the desired structured surface on the resin, the desired structure surface comprising a geometric feature;
- and
- (d) removing the resin from the tool.
