Impact of energy dissipation on interface shapes and on rates for dewetting from liquid substrates [PDF]
We revisit the fundamental problem of liquid-liquid dewetting and perform a detailed comparison of theoretical predictions based on thin-film models with experimental measurements obtained by atomic force microscopy (AFM).
