Abstract:

A method has been developed to produce seamless, freestanding plastic cylinders with dimensions up to 18 cm in diameter, 4 cm in height and with mass density from 15 microgramscm to 300 microgramscm approximately 0.15 to 3 microns thick. The polyvinyl formal resin may be subsequently coated with a variety of materials by vapor deposition. The method employs standard thin foil fabrication techniques modified for use in cylindrical geometry and results in uniform reproducible cylinders. Author
