Surface Cleanliness in R2R

  • Surface cleanliness of the film is vital during

production as any defects (e.g. dust particles) may lead to reductions in product yield.

  • “Surface cleanliness is achieved when product

functionality is not hindered as a function of contamination” (Hovestad, 2015).

Contact Cleaning

  • Global cleaning method.
  • One of the most efficient

methods with minimal environmental impact.

  • Efficiency dependent on

particle adhesive forces.

Particle Adhesion

  • The two dominant forces which

cause a particle to adhere to a surface are van der Waals and electrostatic interactions (Kohli & Mittal, 2008).

  • Van

Der Waals

  • all

attractive intermolecular forces acting between electrically neutral particles.

  • Electrostatic - occurs when two

materials of opposing charges are attracted to each other.

Surface Roughness

  • Surface roughness is a function of

particle adhesion.

  • Highest particle adhesion occurs

when the particle size matches the surface asperities.

  • Higher surface area may increase contact area between the adhered

particle and roller, thus increasing particle removal effectiveness.

  • Nano & Ultra feature longitudinal ridges along the roller axes which

may serve to mechanically shear the adhered particle from the surface.

  • UTF has scattered islands which

may explain its comparatively inferior cleanability.

  • All contact roller variants demonstrated high cleanability > 80%.
  • Comparison of trials 1 & 2 suggest rougher rollers demonstrate the

highest cleanability when electrostatic forces are present.

  • Film & Panel are both ‘soft’.

Able to deform around adhered particles, increasing the contact area, thus increasing particle removal effectiveness.

  • All contact roller variants demonstrated high cleanability > 90%.
  • Two similarities between trials 1 & 3; Electrostatic forces were present

and both Ultra and Nano demonstrated the highest cleanability.

slide-28

Summary

  • Nano demonstrated the most effective cleanability;
  • ‘Rough’ surface topography proven to be more effective than ‘smoother’ surfaces

at overcoming electrostatic adhesion forces.

  • Longitudinal ridges which were thought to increase particle removal

effectiveness by mechanically shearing adhered particles from the surface.

  • Nano was found to have inherent static dissipation properties.
  • No clear correlation between topography and cleanability over 3 cleaning

trials.

  • Different topographies excelled in each cleaning trial, suggesting specific

topographies are required for optimum cleaning of specific applications.

Conclusions

SLIDE 30

Conclusions

  • Method developed to quantitatively measure contact roller cleanability.
  • Removal of electrostatic demonstrated enhanced or parity cleanability.
  • All rollers demonstrated cleanability >90% of polystyrene micro particles.
  • Relationship between roller topography and cleanability was hypothesised.
  • Results suggests there is no set topography which provides optimum

cleaning for all applications, rather certain topographies are suited to specific applications.

Needs multiple sensors gives roll coverage BUT :-

  • Sensors need registering in a single coordinate system.
  • Sensors need overall control (master computer)
  • Generate masses of data, several Terra Bytes
  • Targeted on specific surface defects/characteristics
  • Individual sensors relatively inexpensive

Defects within these films reduce the yield, performance and life time of the products that incorporate them:

  • By reducing their resistance to environmental conditions enhanced

O2 transmission for food shelf life or 20 year useful life span for flexible PV

  • By decreasing the proportion of products that

need to be scrapped before they reach the market where targets are 99% yield

  • Reducing the amount of materials consumed in the manufacture of

films (e.g. reducing amount of polymer used on coated paper)

Reducing the proportion of defects will make a range of products more competitive.
