Control of the Marangoni Effect in the Drying Process of a Polymer Solution Coated on a Flat Substrate through Temperature, Evaporation and Solute Concentration Management
نویسنده
چکیده
The drying process of polymer solutions coated on a flat substrate is very important in various industrial applications. We have proposed and modified a model of the drying process of a polymer solution coated on a flat substrate for uniform polymer film deposition. We used the model to control the thickness of a thin film after drying through management of the temperature, evaporation, and concentration. We incorporated the Marangoni effect into the existing model in the form of pseudo-negative diffusion at an upper gas-liquid interface. We applied the thermal, evaporative, and concentration management to the modified model incorporating the Marangoni effect. The results demonstrated that our method of thickness control of a thin film after drying was effective for improving the Marangoni effect.

متن کاملTransient Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni solutal convection
Solutal driven flow is studied for a binary solution submitted to solvent evaporation at the upper free surface. Evaporation induces an increase in the solute concentration close to the free surface and solutal gradients may induce a convective flow driven by buoyancy and/or surface tension. This problem is studied numerically, using several assumptions deduced from previous experiments on poly...

In the current research, the optimum conditions for the electrolytic deposition of TiO2 coatings on titanium pieces were experimentally investigated. Flat pieces of commercially available titanium with dimensions of 50 x20 x3 mm were used as the anode and cathode electrodes. The coatings were applied on the cathode in an electrolyte solution essentially from water and methanol, containing diffe...

It is very important in the design of a drying system is to evaluate sticking behaviour of the materials goes under drying. A new approach to the sticking issue is applied in this study by carrying out a sticking test for the liquid associated with the materials under study. It was found that the liquid bridge is responsible of the initial sticking of the materials to the contact surface and th...
