NAME R2R pilot line of nano- and micro-structuring of flexible substrates
Manufacture of functional flexible substrates with micro and nanostructures on Surface performed via continuious web structuring using Roll to Roll technology. Development of masters and structured rollers to be used on the R2R equipment. Involvement of thermoplastics and photocurable resins to obtain sheets with different surface functionalities, such as: Antimicrobial capacity, superhydrophilia and superhydrophobic, improvement of mechanical properties, aerodynamic and hydrodynamic improvement, antireflective, etc.
