Polycarbonate as an Elasto-Plastic Material Model for Simulation of the Microstructure Hot Imprint Process

The thermal imprint process of polymer micro-patterning is widely applied in areas such as manufacturing of optical parts, solar energy, bio-mechanical devices and chemical chips. Polycarbonate (PC), as an amorphous polymer, is often used in thermoforming processes because of its good replication ch...
