Transient Growth Process of Precursor Film at Early Stage of Droplet Spreading

We conduct an experimental study focusing on the spreading droplet in the vicinity of the boundary line of solid-liquid-gas interface, which is called macroscopic contact line (M-CL). When the droplet spreads on the solid surface completely, a very thin film whose thickness is of a few nm is formed...
