The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades:
the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows down a windowpane or along …

The commonly accepted description of drops impacting on a surface typically ignores the
essential role of the air that is trapped between the impacting drop and the surface. Here we …

Hydrodynamic pattern formation (PF) and dewetting resulting from pulsed-laser-induced
melting of nanoscopic metal films have been used to create spatially ordered metal …

We report the full spectrum of the evolution of the wrinkle pattern formation in a thin bilayer
film of an elastic metal on a viscoelastic polymer. Although the origin is different, the …

A new experimental approach is introduced to probe the rheology of≳<? format?> 100 nm-
thick liquid polymer films. As-cast films were found to have a substantially reduced effective …

We consider two stacked ultrathin layers of different liquids on a solid substrate. Using long-
wave theory, we derive coupled evolution equations for the free liquid-liquid and liquid-gas …

Size-monodisperse 35 Å diameter, sterically stabilized gold nanocrystals self-assemble into
hexagonal networks, or two-dimensional honeycombs, during drop casting of a dispersion …

Hydrodynamic boundary conditions play a crucial role in the flow dynamics of thin films and
can be probed by the analysis of liquid front profiles. For long-chained polymer films it was …

A thermodynamically consistent gradient dynamics model for the evolution of thin layers of
liquid mixtures, solutions, and suspensions on solid substrates is presented which is based …

The surface of a thin liquid film with a nonconstant curvature is unstable, as the Laplace
pressure drives a flow mediated by viscosity. We present the results of experiments on one …
