Stability and dewetting of thin liquid films
The stability of thin liquid coatings is of fundamental interest in everyday life. Homogeneous and non-volatile liquid coatings may dewet either by heterogeneous nucleation, thermal nucleation, or spinodal dewetting. Wetting and dewetting is explained on a fundamental level, including a discussion of relevant interactions. The chapter will also address the various dewetting scenarios and explai...
متن کاملWetting-dewetting transition line in thin polymer films.
Thin polymeric films are increasingly being utilized in diverse technological applications, and it is crucial to have a reliable method to characterize the stability of these films against dewetting. The parameter space that influences the dewetting of thin polymer films is wide (molecular mass, temperature, film thickness, substrate interaction) and a combinatorial method of investigation is s...
متن کاملThermal stability and partial dewetting of crystalline organic thin films: 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride on Ag„111..
The thermal stability and dewetting effects of crystalline organic thin films on inorganic substrates have been investigated for a model system for organic epitaxy, 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride ~PTCDA! on Ag~111!. The thin films deposited under a variety of growth conditions have been annealed stepwise and studied by in situ x-ray diffraction and noncontact atomic force microsco...
متن کاملDomain Coarsening in Thin Films
We rigorously derive a mean-field model for Ostwald ripening in two-dimensional systems that arise in the growth of thin metallic films. This extends the classical LSW theory in two ways. First, it shows that an LSW-type model is also valid in two dimensions, even though the formal derivation seems less convincing than in three dimensions. Second, it clarifies the regime of validity and provide...
متن کاملDewetting of thin polymer films.
We study the dewetting of thin polymer films deposited on slippery substrate. Recent experiments on these systems have revealed many unexpected features. We develop here a model that takes into account the rheological properties of polymer melts, focussing on two dewetting geometries (the receding of a straight edge, and the opening of a hole). We show that the friction law associated with the ...
