I'm starting to play around with electrowetting (specifically the OpenDrop)
and I'm having trouble finding a source for extruded ETFE film of a
thickness of at most 50 micrometer.
Any ideas?
Anyone have experience with ultra hydrophobic coatings or spin coating?

i have a device which is a motorized vacuum-backed surface which you can use
for spin-coating. you place the item with its center of gravity on the axis
and then pull a vacuum, and then you can power the motor and spin the thing to
do spin-coating. It was originally for orienting silicon wafers so it's
enclosed in a stainless steel housing so it can be cleaned easily.

i don't remember but it's a pretty powerful motor, so probably as many as you
want. it's a heavy-duty assembly, the hollow shaft to the vacuum plate has its
own pair of bearings supporting it, independant of the motor itself. So i
think the vacuum grip to your board (and properly centering it on the center of
mass) is your limiting factor in spinning it fast.

No but I’m psyched to research stuff with you since you’re thinking about
stuff in material science ;)
