Introduction to the Seminar
In the world of Roll to Roll (R2R) coating, one common challenge that developers face is determining the feasible thickness and speed for various coating methods. This hands-on seminar aims to address these frequent queries and help attendees acquire practical estimation skills regarding these parameters. It is designed for workshop participants and includes engaging exercises and video demonstrations to facilitate understanding for those who may feel intimidated by the technical aspects of chemical engineering or mathematics.
Importance of Coating Conditions
In industries developing products like battery coatings, perovskite solar cells, optical films, adhesives, and barrier films, optimizing coating conditions directly influences product quality, yield, and scalability. However, making informed decisions can be complicated by various factors, such as determining whether a certain method allows for coating, estimating thickness and speed, and managing complex prerequisites. These factors often lead to delays in decision-making processes on the shop floor.
