We introduce a model for thin films of multicomponent fluids that includes lateral and vertical
phase separation, preferential component attraction at both surfaces, and surface …

The time-resolved dynamic assembly and the structures of protein liquid dense clusters
(LDCs) were analyzed under pulsed electric fields (EFs) applying complementary polarized …

This work sheds new light on fundamental aspects of phase separation in polymer-blend
thin films. A key feature underlying the theoretical models is the unification of one …

We show that lateral phase separation in polymer blend thin films can proceed via the
formation of a transient wetting layer which breaks up to give a laterally segregated film. We …

The competition between “dewetting” and “phase separation” behaviors in polymer blend
films attracts significant attention. The simultaneous phase separation and dewetting in …

We extend the Cahn-Landau-de Gennes mean field theory of wetting in binary mixtures to
understand the wetting thermodynamics of a three phase system (eg, polymer dispersed …

We use simulations of a binary polymer blend confined between selectively attracting walls
to identify and explain the mechanism of lateral phase separation via a transient wetting …

The critical fluctuation intensity for the occurrence of dewetting, the basic and key problem in
dewetting by means of composition fluctuation, remains obscure. In this work, therefore, the …

This chapter introduces a model for thin films of multicomponent fluids which, by successfully
including a general vertical dependence of the composition, can account for lateral and …
