- This paper explores a feature of reverse roll coating hitherto overlooked: that it could produce few microns thin films if operated with a deformable roller. We built a rig on this principle and developed a model to demonstrate the concept is feasible. The significance of this work is that through this manipulation, we transformed reverse roll coating into a roll to roll technique to produce very thin films for newer coating technologies (solar cells, plastic electronics, drug release films), now implemented at our collaborating company Toyobo in Japan and the subject of a Plenary Talk at ECS 19 Heidelberg.
