The fabrication of organic electronic devices by liquid deposition features a number of advantages compared to vacuum deposition such as reduced material loss, better suitability for polymer deposition and the increased feasibility of scale-up using continuous roll-to-roll coating processes for reaching commercial scale. In this context, mass transport in polymer nanolayers is of high interest regarding the drying, solvent residues, solvent vapor annealing and layer intermixing. In this talk the decreased mass transport in polymer nanolayers is addressed experimentally and by proposing a numerically underpinned diffusion coefficient model.
