Dip coating of poly(ethyl methacrylate) and composites from solutions in isopropanol-water co-solvent
Abstract
This paper reports the feasibility of fabrication of poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) and composite films by a dip coating method. We demonstrate that PEMA can be dissolved in a mixed isopropanol-water co-solvent avoiding the use of traditional toxic solvents. The feasibility of fabricating concentrated solutions of high molecular weight PEMA is a key factor the fabrication of monolayer or multilayer coatings by a dip coating method. The …
