Time constant of the initial dynamic film thinning for both PMMA concentrations [2.5 g l−1 (orange) and 5 g l−1 (blue)]. The evolution is fitted with an exponential decay. The time constant τ is lower for the solution with the concentration 2.5 g l−1, which corresponds to the lower viscosity of the solution. For higher rotation frequencies, the time constant τ is the same for both concentrations and viscosities as the centrifugal force starts to dominate. |
