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 …

This article reviews recent literature on polymer brushes with an emphasis on linear polymer
brushes attached to solid substrate surfaces. The following topics are included:(i) theoretical …

The generation of nano-microstructured polymer film surfaces has been a challenge during
the last decades. Advances in the fabrication of structured polymer surfaces to obtain micro …

This review represents a comprehensive coverage of results reported in the literature over
last 50 years on the methods of studying hot tearing and mechanical properties of semi-solid …

Experimental research on wetting in polymer films is a subject that is reaching maturity. We
review progress from the past few years in research into the influence of a boundary in …

Herein we establish a relationship between controlled nanoscale surface interactions and
subsequent macromolecular ordering. Striped surfaces of oxide and metal are generated …

Strategies for the utilization of phase separation to generate ordered pattern in polymer thin
film are reviewed. First, the fundamental theory and factors influencing phase separation in …

Blending is a technique known in polymer technology that takes advantage of the
processibility of polymers to produce new solid materials or composites with specific …

The wetting behavior of thin films of symmetric poly (styrene-block-methyl methacrylate) was
investigated on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) that …

Patterned organic films are important in microelectronics, 1 cell growth control, 2, 3 and
biomimetic materials fabrication. 4 The preparation of micro-patterned polymer films has …
