Abstract

Micro-injection moulding (µIM) is a key technology for scaling down larger geometry components and can include functional features at the micrometre scale and as far as the sub-micrometre length scale. Thermal cycling of amorphous hydrogenated carbon (aC:H) coated Stainless Steel (SS) has been inves...
