A unified theory of instabilities in viscoelastic thin films : from wetting to confined films, from viscous to elastic films, and from short to long waves

A general unified theory of field (van der Waals, electric, etc.)-induced surface instabilities in thin viscoelastic films that accounts for a destabilizing field and stabilizing effects of elastic strain and surface energy is presented. The present theory seamlessly covers the instability and its d...
