Dewetting is a spontaneous phenomenon where a thin film on a surface ruptures into an
ensemble of separated objects, like droplets, stripes, and pillars. Spatial correlations with …

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 …

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 …

The patterning of functional materials represents a crucial step for the implementation of
organic semiconducting materials into functional devices. Classical patterning techniques …

Most of the technological applications that shape the development of our society and
lifestyle are based on polymers. Whether we are talking about the automotive and aviation …

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 …

Block copolymer (BCP) self‐assembly (SA) can be exploited for next‐generation lithography
for the advanced nanopatterning of surfaces with versatile nanoscale features. To render …

We investigate the creation of large area mesoscale structures by controlling the dewetting
pathways of thin polymer films on physically heterogeneous substrates comprising a two …

In the midst of an exciting era of polymer nanoscience, where the development of materials
and understanding of properties at the nanoscale remain a major R&D endeavor, there are …

A central challenge in polymer science today is creating materials that dynamically alter their
structures and properties on demand, or in response to changes in their environment …
