ThunderNIL provides a new technological solution for nanopatterning surfaces with unprecedented throughputs.
The Pulsed-NIL™ technology comes from the upgrade of the existing Nanoimprint Lihography (NIL) technology and it is:
- Fast: more than 1000 pieces/hour
- Simple: patterns directly the final product
- Versatile: works even on thermoplastics with high glass transition temperatures
- Accurate: does not deform bulk plastic parts, but only affects their surface
The Pulsed-NIL™ approach fits in a large class of fields:
- Biotech: microfluidics, drug delivery and point-of-care devices
- Optoelectronics: photovoltaics, lighting devices, displays
- Telecommunication: integrated optics, refractive or diffractive optical elements
- Micro/nano-mechanical systems
- Brand protection and anti-counterfeiting
- Aesthetics: logos, surface finishing and surface aesthetics
