Abstract
ABSTRACT Electroless plating is used to enhance the strength of anodised aluminium oxide (AAO) which can be further utilised as a mould to fabricate the structures on large area of polymer for anti-reflection properties. Nanopillars of high aspect ratio are fabricated on polymer (polystyrene) sheet by hot embossing process which has ensured repeatability with precision and high throughput. The height of nanopillars matches the depth of the mould cavity. The enhanced light trapping performance is attributed to the high aspect ratio nanopillars with cup-shaped top surface. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
期刊介绍:
Surface Engineering provides a forum for the publication of refereed material on both the theory and practice of this important enabling technology, embracing science, technology and engineering. Coverage includes design, surface modification technologies and process control, and the characterisation and properties of the final system or component, including quality control and non-destructive examination.
