Thin Film Instability Induced by Long-Range Forces by Reiter, Günter, Sharma, Ashutosh, Casoli, Alain, David, Marie-Odile, Khanna, Rajesh, Auroy, Philippe

“…Dispersion forces are present everywhere. Their importance, however, is largely neglected because directly at a surface or at an interface they are mostly weak…”

Instabilities of Thin Polymer Films on Layers of Chemically Identical Grafted Molecules by Reiter, Günter, Auroy, Philippe, Auvray, Loïc

“…We report autophobic behavior of end-functionalized polystyrene molecules. By grafting such molecules from a melt onto the surface of a silicon wafer these…”

Behavior of a nematic liquid near a grafted solid surface by Brochard-Wyart, Françoise, Ou Ramdane, Olivier, Tran, Yvette, Auroy, Philippe

“…We discuss the nematic order parameter and the polymer concentration profile for a solid surface carrying grafted chains. Different regimes are found,…”
