Experimental research on wetting in polymer films is a subject that is reaching maturity. We
review progress from the past few years in research into the influence of a boundary in …

This review deals with a variety of the processes proceeding in polymer blends at the
interface with solids. By the contact of a polymer blend with a solid surface, the …

The performance of solution processed polymer: fullerene thin film photovoltaic cells is
largely determined by the nanoscopic and mesoscopic morphology of these blends that is …

Strategies for the utilization of phase separation to generate ordered pattern in polymer thin
film are reviewed. First, the fundamental theory and factors influencing phase separation in …

Demixed blends of poly [3-hexylthiophene](P3HT) and C61-butyric acid methyl ester
(PCBM) are widely used in photovoltaic diodes (PV) and show excellent quantum efficiency …

A reference and text, Dissipative Phenomena treats the broadly applicable area of
nonequilibrium statistical physics and concentrates the modelling and characterization of …

We critically review the modelling and simulations of surface-directed spinodal
decomposition, namely, the dynamics of phase separation of a critical or near-critical binary …

Polymer mixtures and block copolymers in thin film geometry find much recent attention,
both theoretically [1–63] and experimentally [5, 7, 8, 29, 64–122]. This interest arises …

When binary mixtures (AB) are quenched from the one-phase region into the unstable part
of their miscibility gap, phase separation starts by spontaneous amplification of …

We review analytical and numerical results for surface-directed spinodal decomposition
(SDSD), namely, the interplay of wetting kinetics and phase separation in a binary (AB) …
