Instability, self-organization and pattern formation in thin soft films
The free surface of a thin soft polymer film is often found to become unstable and self-
organizes into various meso-scale structures. In this article we classify the instability of a thin …

Patterned deposition at moving contact lines
U Thiele - Advances in colloid and interface science, 2014 - Elsevier
When a simple or complex liquid recedes from a smooth solid substrate it often leaves a
homogeneous or structured deposit behind. In the case of a receding non-volatile pure …

Sessile drop evaporation in a gap–crossover between diffusion-limited and phase transition-limited regime
We consider the time evolution of a sessile drop of volatile partially wetting liquid on a rigid
solid substrate. The drop evaporates under strong confinement, namely, it sits on one of the …

Morphology changes in the evolution of liquid two-layer films
We consider a thin film consisting of two layers of immiscible liquids on a solid horizontal
(heated) substrate. Both the free liquid–liquid and the liquid–gas interface of such a bilayer …
