Best solution concentration for PMMA thin film

01 January 1970 1 923 Report

I am preparing PMMA for triboelectric nanogenerator. Therefore, I would like to know how to prepare this solution for spin coating. The avg. MW is 120 000 and I have some solvents, such as Toluene, MEK or acetone, etc. The remaining problem is the solution concentration and stirring temperature/speed? Much appreciated.
