Dewetting at the interface between two immiscible polymers

We review the recent theoretical and experimental efforts that have been made in studying the dynamics of dewetting at the interface between two liquids. While detailed theoretical predictions are already available, the experimental studies are still at an early stage. The first experiments using high-molecular-weight homopolymers not only enable a study of the dewetting dynamics to be made, but also allow a detailed analysis of the deformed liquid/liquid interface around the growing holes to be undertaken. The experimental results are compared with theoretical predictions.
