Modeling the Relationship Between the Transition Time and Energy Barrier in Films from Nanofluid Stepwise Thinning

Liquid films formed from nanofluids exhibit a ubiquitous, multiple stepwise thinning phenomenon, where the film thins layer by layer. Under film confinement, the nanoparticles experience a significant reduction in their degrees of freedom, inducing entropy-driven structural transitions. The primary goal of this researc...
