Project: Optical plastic lenses with super-hydrophobic surface properties

Plastic lenses are found in products ranging from medical devices to sensor and illumination systems. A great challenge of the existing lenses is the lifetime and need for cleaning. We will solve this issue by creating super-hydrophobic and self-cleaning plastic lenses that are produced by injection moulding. The solution is to use a nanostructured steel tool for injection moulding which will replicate the desired surface property into the lens directly.
