abstract |
The invention discloses a transfer belt comprising a carrier; a template layer having a first surface applied to the carrier and having a second surface opposite to the first surface, wherein the second a surface comprising a non-planar structured surface; a release coating disposed on the non-planar structured surface of the template layer; and a backfill layer disposed on the non-planar structured surface of the release coating on and conforms to the non-planar structured surface of the barrier coating. In some embodiments, the backfill layer comprises a silsesquioxane, such as polyvinylsilsesquioxane. The transfer tapes disclosed herein can be used to transfer replicated structures to receptor substrates. |
