Presidential Young Investigators Award: "Mechanics of Thin Film Processing-Spin Coating".

这项研究由总统青年研究员处理旋转涂层过程的理论描述。以前这一重要工业过程的可用模型是基于经验的，在预测涂层性能方面效用有限。本研究旨在提供一个现实可靠的模型。惯性、表面张力、离心力和粘度的影响将被系统地研究。非牛顿流体性质的影响也将包括在内。

This research by a Presidential Young Investigator deals with a theoretical description of the spin coating process. Previously available models of this important industrial process have been empirically based and are of limited utility in predicting coating performance. The present investigation is to provide a realistic and reliable model. Effects of inertia, surface tension, centrifugal forces, and viscosity will be systematically investigated. The effects of non-Newtonian fluid properties will also be included.
