Dewetting films: bifurcations and concentrations
Under the influence of long-range attractive and short-range repulsive forces, thin liquid films rupture and form complex dewetting patterns. This paper studies this phenomenon in one space dimension within the framework of fourth-order degenerate parabolic equations of lubrication type. We derive the global structure of the bifurcation diagram for steady-state solutions. A stability analysis o...
متن کاملDewetting of thin polymer films.
We study the dewetting of thin polymer films deposited on slippery substrate. Recent experiments on these systems have revealed many unexpected features. We develop here a model that takes into account the rheological properties of polymer melts, focussing on two dewetting geometries (the receding of a straight edge, and the opening of a hole). We show that the friction law associated with the ...
متن کاملDewetting of glassy polymer films.
Dynamics and morphology of hole growth in a film of power hardening viscoplastic solid [ yield stress approximately (strain-rate)(n)] is investigated. At short times the growth is exponential and depends on the initial hole size. At long times, for n>1 / 3, the growth is again exponential but with a different exponent. However, for n<1 / 3 the hole growth slows and the hole radius approaches an...
متن کاملStability and dewetting of thin liquid films
The stability of thin liquid coatings is of fundamental interest in everyday life. Homogeneous and non-volatile liquid coatings may dewet either by heterogeneous nucleation, thermal nucleation, or spinodal dewetting. Wetting and dewetting is explained on a fundamental level, including a discussion of relevant interactions. The chapter will also address the various dewetting scenarios and explai...
متن کاملSlip vs. viscoelasticity in dewetting thin films.
Ultrathin polymer films on non-wettable substrates display dynamic features which have been attributed to either viscoelastic or slip effects. Here we show that in the weak- and strong-slip regime, effects of viscoelastic relaxation are either absent or essentially indistinguishable from slip effects. Strong slip modifies the fastest unstable mode in a rupturing thin film, which questions the s...
