Hydrophobicity Tuning by the Fast Evolution of Mold Temperature during Injection Molding

The surface topography of a molded part strongly affects its functional properties, such as hydrophobicity, cleaning capabilities, adhesion, biological defense and frictional resistance. In this paper, the possibility to tune and increase the hydrophobicity of a molded polymeric part was explored. A...
