55. We use the term "quasi-two-dimensional" because the monolayers and the fingers have a finite and variable extension in the third dimension.
56. We call this process pseudo-dewetting because at the end the substrate is still wetted by an adsorbed polymer monolayer. A detailed theoretical description of different dewetting behaviors can be found in the work of Françoise Brochard-Wyart, e.g., F. Brochard-Wyart, P. Martin, and C. Redon, Langmuir 9, 3682 (1993).
