The nanoconfinement effects of glassy polymer thin films on their thermal and mechanical
properties have been investigated thoroughly, especially with an emphasis on its altered …

Thin, viscous liquid films subjected to impact events can deform. Here we investigate free-
surface oil-film deformations that arise owing to the build up of air under the impacting and …

The capillary levelling of cylindrical holes in viscous polystyrene films was studied using
atomic force microscopy as well as quantitative analytical scaling arguments based on thin …

The damped oscillations of liquid-immersed ferrofluid sessile droplets were studied with
high-speed imaging experiments and analytical modeling to develop a novel microrheology …

We compare the capillary levelling of a random surface perturbation on a thin polystyrene
film with a theoretical study on the two-dimensional capillary-driven thin film equation. Using …

Hydrodynamic slip, the motion of a liquid along a solid surface, represents a fundamental
phenomenon in fluid dynamics that governs liquid transport at small scales. For polymeric …

A thin liquid film with nonzero curvature at its free surface spontaneously flows to reach a flat
configuration, a process driven by Laplace pressure gradients and resisted by the liquid's …

In this paper, a new framework for crossover of scaling law is proposed: a crossover of
scaling law can be described by a self-similar solution. A crossover emerges as a result of …

We report on the capillary-driven leveling of a topographical perturbation at the surface of a
freestanding liquid nanofilm. The width of a stepped surface profile is found to evolve as the …

Flow in thin films is highly dependent on the boundary conditions. Here, we study the
capillary levelling of thin bilayer films composed of two immiscible liquids. Specifically, a …
