Experimental research on wetting in polymer films is a subject that is reaching maturity. We
review progress from the past few years in research into the influence of a boundary in …

The effect of boundary surfaces on phase separation and microphase separation in binary
polymer blends and block copolymers respectively, has gained increasing attention over the …

Phase transition dynamics is centrally important to condensed matter physics. This 2002
book treats a wide variety of topics systematically by constructing time-dependent Ginzburg …

Fundamental issues of the kinetics of phase separations on surfaces are reviewed with an
emphasis on developments during the period from 1990 to present. Issues covered …

The wetting effect has attracted great scientific interest because of its natural significance as
well as technical applications. Previous models mostly focus on one-component fluids or …

Here we consider how phase-separation kinetics and morphology are affected by the
preferential wetting of a solid surface by one component of a binary fluid mixture. The …

We study the spontaneous phase separation of a binary mixture in the presence of a flat
wall, focusing on the early stage of the demixing kinetics. Based on a Ginzburg-Landau type …

Demixed blends of poly [3-hexylthiophene](P3HT) and C61-butyric acid methyl ester
(PCBM) are widely used in photovoltaic diodes (PV) and show excellent quantum efficiency …

The diminished conductivity of pristine grain boundaries in oxide‐ion conducting
electrolytes, such as (Ce, Gd) O2 and (Zr, Y) O2, is widely interpreted with the Mott‐Schottky …

A reference and text, Dissipative Phenomena treats the broadly applicable area of
nonequilibrium statistical physics and concentrates the modelling and characterization of …
