Abstract
The paper demonstrates existence of a purely thermal instability mechanism in a thin evaporating film that can be responsible for formation of mesoscopic patterns in thin polymer films. The instability is caused by the increasing evaporation with the film thinning due to higher heat flux to the film surface.
