This discontinuity has prompted research to understand the feasibility of using traditional scalable manufacturing methods to produce thin film rapidly, with minimal waste, and optimal coating uniformity and quality. In this talk, we will explore various coating techniques and the mechanisms that control the quality of the coated film.\u0026nbsp; Specifically, an understanding of defect generation in coated thin film fabricated using roll-to-roll processes, especially slot die extrusion, will be elucidated.\u0026nbsp; The influence of such defects on system performance will be discussed, as it relates to polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Building upon this framework, preliminary results on the development and implementation of a novel hybrid technology that couples printing and extrusion technologies to continuously coat thin film in discrete and non-discrete patterns will be presented.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhile the seminar is free, we do ask you to please \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.surveygizmo.com\/s3\/1012005\/COPE-Seminar-Series-Tequila-Harris\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ERSVP here\u003C\/a\u003E.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAssistant Professor Tequila Harris from the Georgia Tech School of Mechanical Engineering lectures on \u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0022Scalability: Is Roll-to-Roll Processing the Solution?\u0022\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"As part of the COPE Seminar Series, COPE faculty member Dr. Tequila Harris is welcomed from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"27185","created_gmt":"2012-08-27 09:18:03","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:59:37","author":"Jason Martin","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2012-09-20T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2012-09-20T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2012-09-20T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2012-09-20 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2012-09-20 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2012-09-20 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"hg_media":{"149441":{"id":"149441","type":"image","title":"Tequila Harris","body":null,"created":"1449178763","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:39:23","changed":"1475894782","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:46:22","alt":"Tequila Harris","file":{"fid":"195147","name":"harris.jpeg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/harris_0.jpeg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/harris_0.jpeg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":5532,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/harris_0.jpeg?itok=vXyYW4Mu"}},"149451":{"id":"149451","type":"image","title":"Tequila Harris lab","body":null,"created":"1449178763","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:39:23","changed":"1475894782","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:46:22","alt":"Tequila Harris lab","file":{"fid":"195148","name":"harris.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/harris_0.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/harris_0.png","mime":"image\/png","size":292389,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/harris_0.png?itok=TVXo2o__"}}},"media_ids":["149441","149451"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.me.gatech.edu\/faculty\/harris","title":"Tequila Harris - Faculty Page"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.surveygizmo.com\/s3\/1012005\/COPE-Seminar-Series-Tequila-Harris","title":"Seminar RSVP"}],"groups":[{"id":"1273","name":"Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics (COPE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"10797","name":"center for organic photonics and electronics"},{"id":"14651","name":"College of Engineering; George W.
