The 6th International Conference on polymer replication on the nanoscale (PRN2019) was successfully held in Dublin by the UCD Centre of Micro/Nano Manufacturing Technology (MNMT-Dublin) during 9-10 May 2019.  

​

This year, we have 9 invited presentations, 15 oral presentations, 10 poster presentations. Overall we have 29 abstracts submitted. We have overall more than 60 participates including 8 volunteers from MNMT-Dublin. 

​

Our program covers precision/ultra-precision machining of moulds, micro/nano fabrication of moulds, polymer micro/nano replication, polymer additive manufacturing, and applications in microfluidics, medical devices, and optics. I wish you enjoy all the talks and find them useful.

The conference addressed issues in large scale replication of micro- and nanostructures in polymer materials including:

​

• Manufacturing of structured moulds, inserts or shims for polymer replication

• Industrial replication technologies, injection moulding, roll-to-roll techniques and other innovative processes

• Materials for replication of polymer micro- and nanostructures

• Applications for functional micro- and nanostructured polymer surfaces

• Metrology and characterisation of micro- and nanostructured polymer surfaces

• Simulation and computing of different phenomena in micro- and nanoscale replication
