Beskrivning

This book is a treatise on the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of thin liquid films at solid surfaces and, in particular, their rupture instabilities. For an experimental scientist, the book should serve as a reference and guide to what is the current consensus of the theoretical underpinnings of the field of thin film dynamics.

From the reviews: "The text is spread over six chapters with appendices, lists of figures and symbols used, and bibliography. The appendices make the text self-sufficient. A useful aspect for graduate students is the inclusion of tasks in each chapter. ... The text is very well written, and the concepts are laid down with clarity. The emphasis is on the reader to appreciate the subject ... ." (S. C. Rajvanshi, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1255, 2013)
