Description for Thin Liquid Films: Dewetting and Polymer Flow
Hardback. Here is a treatise on the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of thin liquid films at solid surfaces, particularly their rupture instabilities. The authors balance 'light' and 'rigorous' mathematical approaches, always conveying the elegance of the theory. Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 172 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHFC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 426.
This book is a treatise on the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of thin liquid films at solid surfaces and, in particular, their rupture instabilities. For the quantitative study of these phenomena, polymer thin films (sometimes referred to as “ultrathin”) have proven to be an invaluable experimental model system.
What is it that makes thin film instabilities special and interesting? First, thin polymeric films have an important range of applications. An understanding of their instabilities is therefore of practical relevance for the design of such films. The first chapter of the book intends to give a snapshot of current applications, ...

Reviews for Thin Liquid Films: Dewetting and Polymer Flow
From the reviews: “The text is spread over six chapters with appendices, lists of figures and symbols used, and bibliography. The appendices make the text self-sufficient. A useful aspect for graduate students is the inclusion of tasks in each chapter. … The text is very well written, and the concepts are laid down with clarity. The emphasis is on ... Read more
