|a The stability of ultrathin (<100 nm) polymer films is essential in applications like protective coatings. On the contrary, their instability may actually be desirable for the emergence of self-assembled nanoscale patterns utilized in the fabrication of functional devices. Polymer solution films exhibit two distinct kinds of instabilities, viz., dewetting (long-wave) and decomposition (short-wave). Dewetting refers to the rupture of the continuous film to form isolated domains, while decomposition leads to phase separation within the polymer solution. The focus of this work is on leveraging polar interactions between the solute and solvent molecules to tune the stability of the film. A gradient dynamics-based thin film model is developed to investigate pattern formation in a thin polar polymer solution film. The Flory-Huggins theory is suitably modified by introducing a polar interaction parameter that depends upon the concentration of the polymer and the dipole moments of monomer (μ1) and solvent molecules (μ0). A linear stability analysis is performed to determine the characteristic length scale and growth rate of the instabilities. It is shown that the range of concentration space for the occurrence of the decomposition mode is directly affected by the Flory interaction parameter (χ0), μ0, and μ1, thereby serving as control parameters to tune the width of the concentration range. It is further shown that ignoring polar interactions may lead to incorrect predictions of the instability mode, including a complete loss of the decomposition mode. In addition, the long-wave dewetting length scale is found to decrease due to bulk dipolar interactions at higher polymer concentrations. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to track the nonlinear evolution of the interface and concentration field for both the decomposition and dewetting modes of instability
