The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades:
the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows down a windowpane or along …

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 …

Wetting of rough hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces is discussed. The stability of the
Cassie state, with air trapped in relief details under the droplet, is necessary for the design of …

The transition between the Cassie and Wenzel wetting regimes has been observed under
vertical vibration of a water drop placed on a rough micrometrically scaled polymer pattern …

We focus on the dynamical aspects of wetting phenomena on the nanoscale for which bulk
hydrodynamic equations become invalid. At the nanoscale, phenomena that are irrelevant …

A superhydrophobic surface is produced from industrial grade polymer materials. The
surface comprises partly disordered triple-scaled arrays of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) …

Electrostatic field induced instability, morphology, and patterning of a thin liquid film confined
between two electrodes with an air gap are studied on the basis of nonlinear 3D simulations …

Wetting properties of lycopodium-based surfaces are reported. The surfaces demonstrate
high apparent contact angles accompanied by high adhesion of water droplets, similar to the …

We consider a thin film consisting of two layers of immiscible liquids on a solid horizontal
(heated) substrate. Both the free liquid–liquid and the liquid–gas interface of such a bilayer …

Strategies for the utilization of dewetting of polymer thin film to fabricate ordered patterns are
reviewed. After a brief introduction to the polymer thin film dewetting theory, simulation …
