  • Publication number: 20240300205
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a laminate includes: placing a mold having one surface on which a plurality of recesses are formed; applying a coating material to the one surface of the mold on which the recesses are formed, and dropping the coating material applied to portions of the recesses into the recesses while remaining the coating material applied to a portion of the one surface other than the recesses on the one surface of the mold; drying the coating material to form a polymer coating film having through-holes formed in portions corresponding to the recesses; pressing a support against the mold with the polymer coating film interposed between the support and the mold; and peeling the polymer coating film off together with the support from the mold to obtain a laminate including the support and the polymer coating film.
