Spinodal Theory: A Common Rupturing Mechanism in Spinodal Dewetting and Surface Directed Phase Separation (Some Technological Aspects: Spatial Correlations and the Significance of Dipole-Quadrupole Interaction in Spinodal Dewetting)

<table> The figure shows a sketch of asymmetric interface formation on a weakly wettable surface or rod. A net potential gradient can provide a driving force. Such microstructures or nanostructures can also lead to the self diffusion of biological molecules, liquid crystals, and so forth in various ambient conditions.</table>
