Abstract
Throughout the first three chapters, we have relied entirely on macroscopic concepts such as pressure, surface tension, and the like. A description based on such concepts is adequate as long as the dimensions of the drops and puddles under consideration exceed the range of interactions between molecules. If, on the other hand, we wish to study thin films (liquid pellicles of thickness e much less than a micron), we must take into account the range of interactions between molecules.
