Abstract
This paper investigates the replication of microstructures on a vertical wall by PEEK injection molding. A 4-cavity insert was used in the injection molding. Pre-fabricated nickel plates with ø 4 μm micro holes on the surface were glued on vertical walls in the cavities. 3 cavities were coated by CrN, TiN and TiB2 respectively, the remaining one was not coated as a reference. The effect of coating was compared via the morphology of the micropillars on the polymer parts. 4000 injection molding cycles were repeated. The roughness of the coated surface was measured. The reasons for the demolding result were discussed.
