Abstract
There is disclosed a method and apparatus for producing a polymeric film that accurately replicates a mold surface at least a portion of which surface has a complex pattern of microstructured or nano-structured dimensions. A polymeric powder is electrodeposited on an underlying mold surface and heated to its molten state to replicate a pattern on the mold surface. Then the powder can be cured to create a polymeric film. Finally the film is removed from the mold surface.
