摘要
The critical role of solvent evaporation on the roughness of spin-cast polymer films was studied. Solvent-rich films were demonstrated to possess insufficient time to level and heal surface roughness created by Marangoni instabilities when the solvent was rapidly evaporating. The role of solution leveling was also emphasized by dynamic contact angle measurements. Analysis showed that it was possible to control the surface roughness of dip coated or spin cast films from good solvents by varying the evaporation rate of the solvent.
