Purpose: The aim of this paper was to investigate changes in surface morphology and optoelectronic properties of MEH-PPV thin films. Thin films were prepared using spin coating method. Design/methodology/approach: The changes in surface topography was observed by the atomic force microscope AFM. The results of thin films roughness have been prepared in the software XEI. The UV/VIS spectrometer was used to investigate absorbance of the obtained thin films. Findings: Results and their analysis allow to conclude that the solvent, which is an important factor in spin coating technology has an influence on surface morphology and optoelectronic properties of MEH-PPV thin films. Practical implications: Known MEH-PPV optoeletronic properties and the possibility of obtaining a uniform thin film show that it can be a good material for optoelectronic and photovoltaic application. Originality/value: The paper presents some researches of MEH-PPV thin films deposited by spin coating method deposition on glass BK7. A MEH-PPV solution was prepared using three different solvents: chlorobenzene, chloroform and pyridine.

Purpose: The major aim of this paper was describing technical conditions of polymer thin film deposition by spin-coating techniques. Design/methodology/approach: Thin films of about nanometres thickness were prepared by spin-coating and their properties were studied. As a material for preparing polymer thin films oxad-Si was used. The thin films were deposited with various spinning velocity from solution of different concentration. Thin films were deposited on BK7 glass and quartz substrates. Findings: The obtained results describe influence of the solution concentration and spinning velocity on morphology and optical properties of spin-coated oxad-Si thin films. Research limitations/implications: The obtained results confirm the oxad-Si availability for optoelectronic application to be stipulated. Practical implications: The morphology and optical properties of Oxad-Si polymer thin films were described. This paper include also description of the influence of deposition conditions on properties of polymer thin films. Originality/value: The value of this paper is defining the optimal parameters of spin-coating technology for preparing oxad-Si thin film with the best properties for optoelectronics appliances. This paper describes new experimental polymeric material for spin coating technology. Results of these researches enable to develop the spin-coating technology.
