16. This process is also often referred to as spin coating. However, we are interested in the polymer film itself and in investigating the system variables that produce a high quality polymer thin film. This corresponds to a vantage point that emphasize polymer solution aspects, rather than a substrate vantage point that emphasizes substrate property modifications (e.g. protective coating, friction reduction, etc.).
