Biomedical devices are moving towards the incorporation of nanostructures to investigate the interactions of biological species with such topological surfaces found in nature. Good optical transparency and sealing properties, low fabrication cost, fast design realization times, and bio-compatibility make polymers excellent candidates for the production of surfaces containing such nanometric structures. In this work, a method for the production of nanostructures in free-standing sheets of different thermoplastic polymers is presented, with a view to using these substrates in biomedical cell-surface applications where optical microscopy techniques are required. The process conditions for the production of these structures in poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(ethylene naphthalate), poly(lactic acid), poly(styrene), and poly(ethyl ether ketone) are given. The fabrication method used is based on a modified nanoimprint lithography (NIL) technique using silicon based moulds, fabricated via reactive ion etching or focused ion beam lithography, to emboss nanostructures into the surface of the biologically compatible thermoplastic polymers. The method presented here is designed to faithfully replicate the nanostructures in the mould while maximising the mould lifetime. Examples of polymer replicas with nanostructures of different topographies are presented in poly(methyl methacrylate), including nanostructures for use in cell-surface interactions and nanostructure-containing microfluidic devices.

Swift heavy ion induced modification in the optical properties of TiO2/Poly (Methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites is reported in this paper. The as prepared anatase TiO2 nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in PMMA matrix using solution casting method. These nanocomposites were then irradiated with Ag+12 (120 MeV) ion beam and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, PL and Raman spectroscopy. The PL spectra exhibited an enhanced broad emission peak in visible region (400 nm - 750 nm) while UV-Vis spectroscopy revealed an increased absorption in visible region in irradiated specimen in comparison to unirradiated sample.

This study implements the optical characteristics of Poly-Methyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymer before and after doping different percentages of Lithium Fluoride (LiF). Where the specimens were formulated as disk shape with diameter of (2.5 cm) and thickness of (0.148 cm) using Thermal pressing technology. The absorbance and reflectivity spectra were recorded in addition to their coefficients at range (300-1100) nm. Also, the study has included the determination of refraction and real and imaginary part of dielectric constant coefficients.

Ion beam enhanced thermal depolymerization of poly(methyl methacrylate) thin films, 1–2 µm thick, has been studied in the temperature range 100–400 °C using a 300 keV He+ beam at very low fluence (5 × 1010−5 × 1011 ions cm−2). A relevant monomer evolution (mass signal m/z = 100) at temperature (150 °C) well below the conventional degradation temperature (360 °C) has been detected during irradiation. The observed phenomenon is discussed in terms of activation energies and diffusion processes within the investigated films. The possibility offered by this phenomenon of performing a microlithography process in only one step is discussed.
