Approach to universal self-similar attractor for the levelling of thin liquid films
Michael Benzaquen, Paul Fowler, Laetitia Jubin +3
We compare the capillary levelling of a random surface perturbation on a thin polystyrene film with a theoretical study on the two-dimensional capillary-driven thin film equation.…
A direct quantitative measure of surface mobility in a glassy polymer
Yu Chai, Thomas Salez, Joshua D. McGraw +4
Thin polymer films have striking dynamical properties that differ from their bulk counterparts. With the simple geometry of a stepped polymer film on a substrate, we probe mobility…
Capillary levelling of a cylindrical hole in a viscous film
Matilda Backholm, Michael Benzaquen, Thomas Salez +2
The capillary levelling of cylindrical holes in viscous polystyrene films was studied using atomic force microscopy as well as quantitative analytical scaling arguments based on th…
