This paper outlines the progress achieved during the four decades of research on the spontaneous destruction of the thinning microscopic liquid films through rupture or black spot formation at the so-called critical thickness. Although most of both experimental and theoretical results are primarily
## Abstract Below a critical thickness, of about 60 nm, the glass transition temperature of polystyrene (PS) films decreases with film thickness, as demonstrated using freeβstanding films. A geometrical model is developed here describing this phenomenon in the case of ideal (Gaussian) chains. This
