When thin-film manufacturing products such as adhesives, magnetic tapes, battery electrode and optical films are required to be produced at high speed yet maintaining a high degree of uniformity, liquid-phase processing method desirable. The continuous liquid coating process is a method of choice for such purpose, which consisted of numerous unit operations. Understanding underlying physics in forming a thin film and its microstructures for the current coating process become more complex than conventional ones. In this respect, computational analyses play a critical role. In our research group, we focus on computational fluid dynamic analyses of film formation flows or called coating flows and thin-film microstructure evaluations using image analyses. In this seminar, finite element method based analyses on slot coating flow inside and outside coating dies, and the nanowire networks analyses inside the transparent conductive film will be discussed. |
