How can I spin coat polyacrylamide?

18 May 2015 1 600 Report

In this article:"Characterization of the Interfacial Interaction between Polyacrylamide

and Silicon Substrate by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy" I red that polyacrylamide gel is spin coated. Which kind of polymerization does occur to form the gel? It is possible to spin coat polyacrylamide gel to control the thickness? The spin coating is done before the gelation (using the solution Acrylamide-Bisacrylamide-APS-TEMED)?

I also tried to spin coat acrylamide solution to the glass. The problem is that the viscosity of the acrylamide solution is too small. The solution cannot be retained on the glass. Do you solve this problem? Appreciate of any help!
