Post-treatment for 3D printed moulds

The replication of a mould into a PDMS (silicone) replicate, called soft-lithography, is a usual step in micro-nanofabrication. However, when a 3D printed mould is used (produced from stereolithography), the resin blocks the curing of the PDMS. This inhibition can be eliminate by treating the moulds with various steps (UV post-curing, baking, immersion in solvents...). 

In this database, the post-treatments described in the litterature are gathered and can be sorted by different entries:

将模具复制为PDMS（聚二甲基硅氧烷，silicone）复制品的软光刻（soft-lithography）工艺，是微纳加工中的常规工艺步骤。然而，当采用立体光刻（stereolithography）3D打印制备的模具时，模具所用的树脂会阻断PDMS的固化反应。该抑制效应可通过多步后处理（紫外光二次固化、烘烤、溶剂浸泡等）予以消除。
