## 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 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 **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

The dewetting of thin films of low molecular weight diblock and triblock copolymers of poly(oxyethylene)/poly(oxybutylene) on silicon has been studied using video microscopy and X-ray reflectivity. Dewetted films were observed to comprise polygonal domains of polymer droplets, with a domain size of
