Abstract
The growth of precursor films of non-volatile liquids results from the balance between the disjoining pressure gradient and the dissipative processes. — From the profile and the extension of films developing on solid surfaces, information can be obtained on the disjoining pressure and on the friction terms. For relatively thin films, the viscous friction in the film is the dissipative process. For ultrathin, possibly monomolecular films, it is the friction of the molecules on the solid which plays the role.
