Abstract

The processing conditions during coating and subsequent drying of sol-gel films strongly affect the final film properties and microstructure. An overview of recent advances in theoretical modelling of microstructure evolution in sol-gel thin films is presented. Computational methods in fluid mechanics, mass transfer, and solid mechanics provide insight into the relationships between processing conditions and thin-film coating properties. 15 refs.
