Kinetics and morphology of electric field -induced patterning in thin polymer films
Electrohydrodynamic instabilities in thin liquid polymer films are generated when electrostatic pressure overcomes surface tension, leading to amplification of fluctuations at the polymer surface. The growth kinetics of these fluctuations are, in principle, similar to the growth in size of domains d...
