We present systematic experiments of the rupture and dewetting of thin films of a nonvolatile polar liquid on partially wetting substrates due to a moving slot jet, which impinges at normal incidence. The relative motion was provided by a custom-built spin coater with a bidirectionally accessible axis of rotation that enabled us to measure film thickness profiles in situ as a function of substrate velocity using dual-wavelength interference microscopy. On partially wetting polymeric substrates…

Electrical perturbations of ultrathin bilayers: role of ionic conductive layer.
TLDR
In order to predict the electrostatic component of conjoining/disjoining pressure acting on the interface for IL-PD bilayers, an analytical model is developed using the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation and it is found that IL- PD bilayers with electric permittivity ratio of layers, greater than one remain stable under an applied electric field.
Marangoni flows induced by atmospheric-pressure plasma jets
We studied the interaction of atmospheric-pressure plasma jets of Ar or air with liquid films of an aliphatic hydrocarbon on moving solid substrates. The hydrodynamic jet-liquid interaction induces a…

Rupture of thin liquid films induced by impinging air-jets.
TLDR
It was found that the thin liquid films subjected to laminar axisymmetric air-jets impinging at normal incidence were highly sensitive to the presence of minute quantities of surface-active contaminants.
Rupture of thin liquid films sprayed on solid surfaces
An experimental study was done to observe the formation of thin films by spraying liquid onto a solid surface and to determine the conditions under which the films would rupture or remain stable.…
Cohesive properties of thin films of liquids adhering to a solid surface
The process of forming and rupturing a thin liquid film at a solid surface is described thermodynamically for both high and low energy solid surfaces. In part 1 the build-up of thin films on…
Residual stresses in thin polymer films cause rupture and dominate early stages of dewetting
TLDR
It is demonstrated that many of these extraordinary effects can be related to residual stresses within the film, resulting from the preparation of these films from solution by fast evaporation of the solvent.
Possible mechanism for the spontaneous rupture of thin, free liquid films
The stability of a free, thin liquid film against small, spontaneous thickness fluctuations is explored. The film is unstable with respect to fluctuations with wavelengths larger than a critical…
Thin liquid polymer films rupture via defects
The standard rupture scenario of thin polymer films on solid substrates is investigated in detail. The geometry of the dewetting structure is analyzed by means of the Minkowski functionals in two…

The impact of a sessile droplet with a moving meniscus, as encountered in processes such as dip-coating, generically leads to the entrapment of small air bubbles. Here we experimentally study this…
