The surface morphology of thin bilayer polymer films on top of glass substrates was investigated. The bilayer consists of a blend film of protonated and deuterated polystyrene and an underlying deuterated polystyrene film. Choosing the thickness of the top film larger than 8 times and smaller than 2

## Abstract Thin films of fluids are playing a leading role in countless natural and industrial processes. Here we study the stability and dewetting dynamics of viscoelastic polymer thin films. The dewetting of polystyrene close to the glass transition reveals unexpected features: asymmetric rims c
## Abstract A quantitative comparison between spontaneous dewetting and particle nucleation for thin (thickness = 17nm) polystyrene (PS) films on nonwettable silicon (Si) surfaces is presented both experimentally and theoretically. Performing experiments in a class 100 clean room, we found that ∼ 2
## Abstract **Communication:** Combinatorial thickness‐gradient libraries are used to explore stability and dewetting in thin bilayers of polystyrene (PS) on poly(3‐octylthiophene) (P3OT) on Si. At low P3OT thicknesses (90–175 nm), P3OT screens the unfavorable van der Waals (VDW) interactions betwe
