Abstract
Ultrathin polymeric films devoted for nanoimprint lithography were tested. Atomic force microscopy was used to study the surface topography, and the adhesive and nanomechanical/tribological behaviour. The wetting properties of the films were also evaluated, using a special test rig for the contact angle measurements.
