Spincoating Mechanical Properties & Fabrication Questions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the mechanical properties of spincast membranes, specifically targeting tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio. Participants seek publicly-available research papers to support their inquiries into these properties. Additionally, the feasibility of spincasting a membrane measuring 0.2m in diameter and 0.076mm in height is questioned, with a specific interest in creating a radially-oriented version of BOPET (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mechanical properties such as tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio.
  • Familiarity with spincasting techniques and materials.
  • Knowledge of BOPET (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate) and its applications.
  • Research skills to locate and analyze scientific papers and studies.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research publicly-available papers on the mechanical properties of spincast membranes.
  • Investigate spincasting techniques for large-scale membrane fabrication.
  • Explore the properties and applications of BOPET in various industries.
  • Learn about the challenges and solutions in creating thin membranes with specific dimensions.
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, materials scientists, and engineers interested in the fabrication and mechanical analysis of spincast membranes, particularly those focused on developing advanced materials like BOPET.

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).
