What Challenges are Associated with Coating Uniformity?
Achieving uniform coatings at the nanoscale presents several challenges, including:
Surface Roughness: Irregularities on the substrate surface can lead to non-uniform coatings. Solution Properties: The viscosity, concentration, and surface tension of the coating solution can affect uniformity. Environmental Factors: Temperature, humidity, and cleanliness of the environment can influence the coating process. Scale-Up: Uniform coatings are easier to achieve in small-scale laboratory settings than in large-scale industrial applications.
