## 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

Spontaneous formation of locally ordered patterns during dewetting of thin films on homogeneous and heterogeneous substrates is investigated based on the 3-D nonlinear equation of motion. Physicochemical heterogeneities engender the rapid formation of the primary holes that serve as "seeds" for the

The total free energy (per unit area) of a thin film on a substrate depends on the film thickness, and the apolar (Lifshitz-van der Waals) and polar ( acid-base) spreading coefficients for the system. The free interface of the film becomes unstable and deforms when the second derivative of the free
