The processing conditions during coating and subsequent drying of sol-gel films strongly affect the final film properties and microstructure. This paper is an over-view of recent advances in theoretical modeling of microstructure evolution in sol-gel thin films. Computational methods in fluid mechanics, mass transfer, and solid mechanics provide insight into the relationships between processing conditions and thin-film coating properties.
