  text: "This paper describes observations and metrological analyses made to compare
    the replication quality of polymeric replicas obtained by filling micro-cavities
    using both hot embossing and micro-injection moulding processes. The experiments
    are performed with polypropylene (PP) at a constant melt temperature and a constant
    mould temperature, whereas hot embossing tests are carried out with the same polymer
    at temperatures close to the softening one.\r\nThe results concerning the micro-cavities
    filling provide information on the reliability about the possibilities of replication
    topographical surface geometries. The data obtained by scanning mechanical microscopy
    (SMM) are used to determine the comparative filling ratio values."
