| Many
commonly used products, such as displays, video tapes,
colored steel plates and LC anti-reflection film are
made by high precision coating and drying of functional
liquids containing polymers or nano particles. The liquid
thin film is no thicker than a single strand of hair
(40 to 80) and solidifies to a thickness of only a few
microns. Extremely complex and dynamic changes take
place during this process. In this program, students
will study physical models such as the convective heat
transfer and multi-component diffusion required to calculate
concentration and temperature distributions during drying.
They will also conduct computer simulations that reproduce
what occurs during specific parts of the process. This
is a priceless opportunity to study a subject in which
only a handful of people are involved at the university
level in Japan. |
