During the last decade, research on thin, sub-micron thick, block copolymer films was
devoted toward understanding and controlling microstructural and topographical features at …

The instability, dynamics, and morphological transitions of patterns in thin liquid films on
chemically heterogeneous striped surfaces are investigated based on 3D nonlinear …

Using the dynamic density functional method, we studied the structural evolution of a thin
film of polymer blends placed between the solid substrate and free surface. We observed …

Two new methods for preparing micron-scale patterns of hyperbranched polymer films are
reported. Both approaches rely on passivation of a reactive surface by microcontact printing …

Surface instability, dynamics, and morphology in spontaneous dewetting of a thin liquid film
on a chemically heterogeneous substrate are studied based on nonlinear simulations for a …

We propose a simplified description of fluid adsorption on heterogeneous micropatterned
substrates. Using this approach, we are able to rederive results obtained earlier using …

By a direct numerical integration of the dynamical evolution equations, we study phase
separation of thin polymer blend films in two-dimensional models. The focus of our work is …

Self-organized pattern formation of nonpolymeric amorphous molecules on substrates,
which have nanometer-scale chemical patterns, is demonstrated. It is observed that droplet …

We present high-resolution images with near-field scanning optical microscopy to study
phase separation in polymer films of poly (styrene) and poly (3-octyl-thiophene) …

It was the goal of this study to reproduce results, obtained in the SFA, for a topographically
structured polymer surface sliding on a flat counterface, using a state-of-the-art tribometer …
