When two viscous films coating solid plates are brought in contact a liquid bridge propagates and eventually leads to the adhesion of the plates. As a viscous fluid pushes air of low viscosity, a stable adhesion front is expected. However, the front feeds on liquid to propagate, which results in the depletion of the neighboring layers. As a consequence of such depletion, the adhesion front destabilizes into fingers that grow by absorbing liquid laterally. The first part of this experimental thesis explores this unexpected instability. The patterns geometry is characterized and the dynamics of the adhesion front is studied. The second part adresses the model problem of a single finger of wetting liquid bridging a bath to an overhanging beam...
