the spontaneous rupture of a thin liquid film when long-range attraction makes thickness fluctuations grow, giving a characteristic wavelength.

In soft matter physics, spinodal dewetting refers to the spontaneous rupture of a thin liquid film when long-range attraction makes thickness fluctuations grow, giving a characteristic wavelength. This meaning comes from Vrij (1966) in Discussions of the Faraday Society.[1]
