Instability, self-organization and pattern formation in thin soft films

R Mukherjee, A Sharma - Soft matter, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
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 …
