Abstract
A method of film fabrication is taught that uses a coating and drying apparatus to fabricate resin films suitable for optical applications. In particular, polycarbonate films are prepared by simultaneous application of multiple liquid layers to a moving carrier substrate. After solvent removal, the polycarbonate films are peeled from the sacrificial carrier substrate. Polycarbonate films prepared by the current invention exhibit good dimensional stability and low birefringence.
