Abstract
This is a mold repairing method for removing a resin material deposited on a mold, of which the surface is a porous film with a plurality of recesses that have been created through anodization. The mold repairing method includes the steps of: (I) removing the resin material that is exposed on the surface of the mold over the plurality of recesses without performing atmospheric pressure plasma processing; and (II) removing at least partially the resin material that is still left inside the plurality of recesses by the atmospheric pressure plasma processing, after the step (I) has been performed, thereby recovering the original function of the mold.

A mold repairing method for removing a resin material deposited on a mold, of which the surface is a porous film with a plurality of recesses that have been created through anodization, the method comprising the steps of:
- (I) removing the resin material that is exposed on the surface of the mold over the plurality of recesses without performing atmospheric pressure plasma processing;
- and
- (II) removing the resin material that is still left inside the plurality of recesses by the atmospheric pressure plasma processing, after the step (I) has been performed, wherein the step (I) includes removing the resin material by spraying dry ice so that the atmospheric pressure plasma processing in step (II) removes the resin material in the recesses in less than 60 minutes, wherein the mold includes an aluminum material and the porous film includes a porous alumina layer.
A method of making a functional film, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a mold, of which the surface is a porous film with a plurality of recesses that have been created by anodization;
- imprinting the surface shape of the mold onto a photocurable resin material;
- removing, after the step of imprinting, the photocurable resin material that has been deposited on the mold;
- and
- imprinting, after the step of removing the resin material deposited, the surface shape of the mold onto the photocurable resin again,
- wherein the step of removing the photocurable resin material includes the steps of:
- (I) removing the resin material that is exposed on the surface of the mold over the plurality of recesses without performing atmospheric pressure plasma processing;
- and
- (II) removing the resin material that is still left inside the plurality of recesses by the atmospheric pressure plasma processing, after the step (I) has been performed, wherein the step (I) includes removing the resin material by spraying dry ice so that the atmospheric pressure plasma processing in step (II) removes the resin material in the recesses in less than 60 minutes, wherein the mold includes an aluminum material and the porous film includes a porous alumina laver.
