Rancang bangun spin coater sederhana untuk deposisi lapisan tipis polimer
Abstrak
Polymer thin coatings have an important role in the medical field, one of which is to improve the functionality of medical devices. In addition, polymer thin coatings can improve the biocompatibility of medical devices to prevent negative reactions of the human body. Several methods can be used to produce thin films, one of which is the spin coating method which is often used. The method is very flexible and can be used by a variety of materials. In addition, it requires precise control of rotational speed and time. Based on this, a Spin Coater was designed using a Brushless DC motor and arduino nano as a controller and equipped with a push button to select the required speed value, with a speed range of 1000-8000RPM. Testing of the design results was carried out by dripping red ink on the substrate. The spin coating results show that at 1000RPM the coating is not perfect, while at 5000RPM the coating results reach 90%. For 6000-8000RPM the brushless DC motor experiences environmental errors, where the PLA chamber is unable to withstand the vibrations generated by the DC motor
