## Abstract **Summary:** Dynamics of dewetting and phase separation in ultrathin films (thickness is ca. one radius of gyration, β1 __R__~g~) of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(styreneβ__ran__βacrylonitrile) (SAN) blends on Si substrate has been studied by in situ atomic force microscopy
## 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
