Thin Films Applications

The document discusses thin films and the spin coating process for applying polymer thin films. It begins with classifying thin films based on thickness and material. Applications of thin films include electronic components, displays, and data storage. The document then describes spin coating, which involves depositing a liquid onto a substrate that is then spun to create a thin, uniform film via centrifugal force and evaporation. Key stages of spin coating including deposition, spinning, and drying are modeled. The objective is to use spin coating to apply polymer coatings for concrete repair.
