In particular, it is demonstrated that with increase of the coating speed a homogeneous coating becomes unstable with respect to periodic stripe patterns. Thereby, depending on the liquid viscosity, the stripes can be oriented parallel or perpendicular with respect to the coating direction. Mixed states do also occur. The spatial period of perpendicular [parallel] stripes increases [decrease] with the coating speed. The dependence of the effect on various control parameters of slot-die coating is investigated. Finally, a simple theoretical model based on the hydrodynamics of thin films of partially wetting liquids is analysed. Comparing the results to the experiments, conclusions are drawn regarding the acting instability and pattern formation mechanisms.
