Where it all starts
To coat is to lay a liquid layer — then make it a film
Battery electrodes, MLCCs, fuel-cell layers, and functional films are all made the same way: a thin liquid layer is placed on a moving substrate and turned into a solid film. Everything else we study rests on how well that single step is understood.
