Abstract
There are several technologies for the formation of polymer films, as most commonly used to produce the same require sophisticated equipment and techniques that are often an obstacle for researchers who do not exist for the lifetime to sponsor them. Spin-coating is a simple technique and widely used in the preparation of polymer films of uniform thickness. The technique is to deposit the initial solution onto a substrate which is rapidly accelerated to a desired speed of rotation. The liquid flows radially, due to the action of the centrifugal force, and the excessive ejection of the edge of the substrate. The Equipment is not manufactured in Brazil and according to the Ossila Dealer, its cost is more than R $ 7,000.00, without addition of import taxes, to Brazil. Thus, we propose the construction of low cost equipment of simple components found in electronics stores and discarded equipment (such as printers and DVD). We also investigate its effectiveness in the production of fine film materials.
