Abstract
In this study, the use of an extremely thin and chemically adsorbed fluorocarbon film with no influences on the dimension accuracy of the mold geometries on an injection mold (The thickness is about 1 nanometer order.) was experimentally studied as a great releasing agent to reduce the ejection resistance without any influences on the dimensional accuracy of the mold geometries. As a result, this surface treatment on the mold was practically confirmed not only to be very beneficial for the polymers those are difficult to release from the mold surface such as silicone, urethane and elastomers, but also to be useful for making high precision products such as optical components and chemical chips.
