Dewetting of thin-film polymers
F. Saulnier, E. Raphael, P. -G. de Gennes
In this paper we present a theoretical model for the dewetting of ultra-thin polymer films. Assumming that the shear-thinning properties of these films can be described by a Cross-…
A Scaling Theory of the Competition between Interdiffusion and Cross-Linking at Polymer Interfaces
Achod Aradian, Elie Raphael, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes
We study theoretically situations where competition arises between an interdiffusion process and a cross-linking chemical reaction at interfaces between pieces of the same polymer…
Dewetting of thin polymer films near the glass transition
F. Saulnier, E. Raphael, P. -G. de Gennes
Dewetting of ultra-thin polymer films near the glass transition exhibits unexpected front morphologies [G. Reiter, Phys. Rev. Lett., 87, 186101 (2001)]. We present here the first t…
