Spincoating Mechanical Properties & Fabrication Questions

Click For Summary
Research papers on the mechanical properties of spincast membranes, including tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio, are sought for further understanding. The feasibility of spincasting a membrane measuring approximately 0.2m in diameter and 0.076mm in height is also in question. The goal is to develop a radially-oriented version of BOPET (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate). Insights into both the mechanical properties and fabrication challenges are crucial for this project. The discussion emphasizes the need for reliable data and practical guidance in spincasting techniques.

TL;DR
I hope I’m posting in the correct kind of forum.

I found a ‘guide’—at least of sorts—about spincoating here: https://www.ossila.com/pages/spin-coating#choosing-a-spin-coating-method, but I have a question or two about the possibilities when it comes to spinCAST membranes.
1. Can anyone point me toward publicly-available research papers which examine the mechanical properties of spincast membranes, specifically Tensile Strength, Young’s Modulus, and Poisson’s ratio?

2. How doable might it be to spincast a membrane about 0.2m across and 0.076mm tall?

What I am hoping to is create a radially-oriented version of BOPET (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate).
 

Thread 'Need to anneal 5052 aluminum'

I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
