"Drop Casting

Drop casting is a simple film-forming technique used by many research groups as it does not require specific equipment. The solution containing the desired material is cast on a substrate following by the evaporation of the solvent. However, it is difficult to obtain a uniform layer and to control its thickness (these parameters are fundamental for obtaining performing OPV devices)6,8. This technique is similar to spin coating, but the major difference is that no substrate spinning is required. Also, the film thickness and properties depend on the volume of the dispersion and concentration. Other variables that affect the film structure are substrate wetting, the rate of evaporation, and the drying process. Volatile solvents are generally preferred for this technique which can wet the substrate. One of the advantages of spin coating is less material wastage."

My context (patent application):

"For example, curtain coating, drop casting, dip coating, optical deposition, spray coating, flexo and semi-flexo coating, gravure coating, knife or blade coating, compression or press coating and layer-by-layer deposition are known and suitable techniques."
